I've read a most books available on multigenerational family wealth and this one refreshingly covers new ground!Isaac does a great job of connecting the concepts of family dynamics and stewardship to those of wealth management; encouraging families to have a closer look at their "created and realised shareholder returns".

What a breath of fresh air! This book is a great, practical handbook for setting up and running a family business that will last into future generations. I love how the author takes subjects that are difficult and simply explains them without a bunch of fluff. Very straightforward and very applicable for a family business (which is similar, but not the same as a regular private corporation). The author comes with a wealth of first-hand experiences and that shows in the writing. Great resource!

This book is incredibly thorough yet concise. Gets right to the point with steps that need to be taken to extend your business or your net worth into the future for your family. Very practical, easy to understand and not theoretical or academic for those who want a down to earth guideline for the transition of a family business. I gave copies to my children so they knew exactly what and why I thought this was the path to follow. I've been reading this stuff for 30+ years and this is the best I've seen yet.

Isaac conveys real experience about real concerns families navigate with their businesses and proposes business minded solutions with a heart for the family’s best interest both financially and emotionally.He clearly spells out the required steps the families need to go through defining lots of terms many would likely not know.I think this is an important book for the first generation to get started right and to teach the future generations correctly from the start.
