A Family Gift

The Business of Families is a very insightful book that links all the skills and classes that are taught in Corporate America to the real world inside the family. This book is a page turner and I found myself laughing and crying throughout the journey. Ray Snyder understands the inner workings of the family (feels like he knows my family)and how the same types of things that I practice at the company also work when trying to manage my life at home.I highly recommend this book to anyone who hopes to be a success with the most important thing in life....our families!
