A quick entertaining read inspiring self evaluation

Drayton has succeeded in his quest. The reader will self reflect as they read this book. Whether the story of Ben Scrooge re-affirms the reader's life is in proper balance with correct priorities or it draws out some eerie parallels, either way, it plants a permanent point of reference to draw from. Everybody's familiarity with Charles Dickens classic makes Drayton's modernized tale of Ben impossible to forget. Thanks Drayton for giving me this tool to reference as I continue through my professional journey. My family thanks you as well!

This is the key to unlock your chains.

In A. Drayton Boylston's Coming UnScrooged, the reader is treated with a wonderfully written parable that depicts the consequences to family when an executive becomes hostage to his corporate success. The message about the importance of family, values, integrity and community are delivered in enjoyable, easy to read dialog. Boylston offers an enlightening story to help those trapped in an executive morass to awaken from a Scrooge like slumber, stepping into the light of a new life.

What a Great Gut Check...

I find that we all make decisions that we look back upon and say...did I actually commit to putting business in front of my family. Drayton's book provides a window into our inner selves to keep us honest and continuously checking in to make sure we are staying focused on what is REALLY important. Thanks Drayton for your good work!!

A reasonable, doable--and welcome--solution

What a great book and what a timely way to share an inspired message. When you look at the wealth, power, and social position of today's executives and managers there are striking similarities to the original Scrooge. We're all getting trapped into the "perfect life" and then wondering how the heck to get out of it. What is different in Boylston's "Coming UnScrooged!" is the reader discovers a reasonable, doable--and welcome--solution. You realize you can live your life AND lead your company and your community using values-based principles. How interesting that it takes a modern-day fable to restore balance, perspective, and hope. Read this book and save yourself from the life you created!

Are you on the right path?

I've had the honor of working with Drayton over the past five years and I can honestly say he is one of a kind. He is a genuine leader and truly embodies his mission: to save executives from the lives they have created. If you think you have your priorities straight, think again. It doesn't matter what your place in the corporate hierarchy is, Coming Unscrooged will make you stop and reflect on your mission and purpose in life.
