On Entitlemania (Forbes excerpt): “Many of us believe the wisdom we distill from surviving life’s obstacle course is best directed at rescuing our kids from the difficulty and heartache of similar growing experiences. More strategic than yesteryear’s helicopter parents, today’s drone parents seek out and destroy perceived impediments to our children’s success.” — Richard Watts
On Fables of Fortune: “Those flames of division and resentment [over class warfare] may be quelled, perhaps inadvertently, by Richard Watts’ ‘Fables of Fortune: What Rich People Have That You Don’t Want’… Watts’ tales show how families disintegrate as bank accounts and trust funds soar, and he lifts the veil on the emptiness and spiritual hunger that permeate the lives of many who are among the reviled ‘1 percent.” —The Washington Times
