"In the traditions of Covey and Fitz, Quinn puts timeless wisdom into a timely container of loving letters to his college freshman son. As I read it, I found myself often agreeing, sometimes pondering, occasionally quarreling, but always knowing that this is good stuff.
It's now in my eldest daughter's hands. It should be in yours.
Put away the chicken soup: Letters to Garrett is a hearty stew."
