"Discussions about great books with your peers and your family members are some of the most satisfying and powerful facets of a Leadership Education. These discussions open new avenues and take participants to new frontiers as they challenge one another's assumptions, compare ideas, ask questions and articulate thoughts and conclusions about books read in common. New ideas spring forth as minds are open to ideas never before considered, and questions are answered, or left to be answered another day."

I enjoyed this talk on taking responsibility for our choices. John Hilton III presents it in a fun and interesting way, while still making his point very clear. It keeps our family "helping" each other with not making excuses. It would be a good talk to listen to on a road trip.
