it’s an unfortunate but common pattern: a family achieves wealth and stability but can’t sustain the good fortune beyond the second generation. an enterprise fails, a dynasty is lost, and pain and suffering are the result. in family, james hughes presents the reasons and the remedies for this phenomenon. drawing on evidence from political science, psychology, ancient history, physics, organizational science and several other schools of intellectual thought, hughes brings together seemingly discordant pieces to form a whole picture that is both instructive and inspiring. studied in this manner, the wisdom and insights of some of the finest minds in history begin to make sense in a new way—a way that can truly help families overcome their most formidable challenges. bringing to bear decades of experience working with and studying families, he maps the most common mistakes and the approaches to family governance and personal development that can prevent them. this book takes families and the professionals who serve them beyond the now widely-accepted practices offered in family wealth and offers a view of hughes’s panoramic insights into what makes families flourish and fail. his advice addresses not only what to do but how to think about the complex issues of family governance, growth and stability, and the ongoing challenge of nurturing the fulfillment and potential of each family member. if(window.uet){uet("be")}if(window.onLdEnd){if(window.addEventListener){window.addEventListener("load",window.onLdEnd,false)}else{if(window.attachEvent){window.attachEvent("onload",window.onLdEnd)}}}if(window.ueh){ueh(0,window,"load",window.onLd,1)}if(window.ue_pr&&(window.ue_pr==3||window.ue_pr==4)){window.ue._uep()}; James E.
