Thanks for the recommendations. I added all of the books to my TBR list but I immediately ordered Creating Innovators from the library. I always love your suggestions.

Thanks for these book suggestions. These look great. This one fascinates me: Creating Innovators The Making of Young People Who Will Change the World by Tony Wagner and Robert Compton

I think this is what the U.S. needs to focus on in terms of education though we have to do this as parents. Teaching our kids to take risks, tolerate and learn from failure, and harness and nurture their creativity. That’s powerful stuff!

My husband and I are both entrepreneurs and I think teaching kids to become entrepreneurial is a gift that keeps on giving.

Great post! I’m not sure which one I’ll start with, but I now have most of them on my library list. I may start with Swagger. Having two boys, I’m always wanting/needing to learn more about the experience of today’s boys.
