What should you ask? Whom should you ask? When? Is it ever right to talk about such things?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Voice of the Rising Generation\u003c\/i\u003e speaks directly to those who find themselves living in that silence, the so-called \"next generation.\" Great wealth or a family business can act like a \"black hole,\" sapping the dreams and aspirations of future generations who feel that they can never measure up to the fortune's founder. This book, written by a psychologist, an educator, and a wise counselor who single-handedly changed the landscape of family wealth, diagnoses with economy and precision the cause of entitlement and dependency. It is not too much money or too few chores. It is the failure of rising generations to individuate, that is, to pursue their dreams, develop their resilience, and find their voice.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMany books are addressed to parents and grandparents who worry about the effects of wealth on their descendants. Almost alone in the field, this book speaks directly to 20-, 30- and 40-somethings, encouraging them--literally, giving them courage--to meet the challenge of integrating wealth's power into their lives, rather than disappearing into the black hole.
