The Fourth Quarter is surely the thinnest book I have ever written. One of the reasons is that I am still in it, am part of it, living it every morning when I wake up, whereas I have lived through the other quarters and thoroughly done them.
I borrowed the title of this book from the world of business. The business year is divided into four parts. In my mind, so is life: birth and early childhood; adolescence/teenage years, focused on school; adulthood, focused on work, marriage, and family; and the fourth, on the verge of checking out.
By the fourth quarter, businesses better show a profit, and life in general will flaunt its assets - its children, its acheivments, and its wealth.
I am all for it until the very last breath.
