Raise the Standard

In this refreshingly honest, cleverly written, easy-to-read book of real-life short stories, the author demonstrates a refreshing courage and willingness to be seen in an unflattering light in order to help and encourage others. There are no frills. He just tells it like it is. The stories are sharp, lively, transparent, powerful, vulnerable, personal, and are easy to identify with; scratching where it itches. They stimulate thought rather than prescribing behavior. Yet one can profit personally from the tips at the end of each story. There is a special quality about a book written by a businessman who has an enviable wealth of life experience and observations of the natural world. Readers will enjoy Raise the standard's no-nonsense practicality and will be encouraged, enriched, enlightened and entertained. Like a breath of fresh air it shows how human beings can grow and rise to new challenges. Its sheer integrity make it a must read for both men and women.
