Publisher's summary

For everything you give your child, you take something away.

Entitlemania is an epidemic. Well-intentioned parents across the country are enabling a ''me'' generation of children who lack the wisdom and satisfaction of accomplishment that only struggle and adversity can bring.

As a veteran advisor and legal counsel to America's most successful families, Richard Watts has seen the extremes of entitlement up close and wants to help you avoid creating it in your own children. Entitlemania will teach you how to redirect kids and repair adults who believe the world owes them something. Your greatest challenge may be learning to control your own actions!

Entitlemania will provide practical strategies like creating boundaries, walking your talk, and allowing children to fend for themselves. A groundbreaking book, Entitlemania sheds important light on an increasingly pervasive social trend affecting children at every age - and at every income bracket!

The big takeaway for parents: You may have to let your children fail, so they can learn how to succeed.

Very thought provoking

I finished this book a few weeks ago and can’t stop thinking of it, the examples and lessons learned.
I will be going this to many clients and friends.

Great book for anyone!

Regardless of if you have kids or not; this book offers great insight into human behavior and how it is shaped by parenting/ inheritance. Great listen!

repetitive, but good advice

the author makes some great points, but I found that there was repetition beyond just hammering the point home. I also found it odd that there was so little attention given to the benefits of generational wealth done right.

Not that insightful

I was expecting a lot of ideas to help in parenting at all stages of childhood development. It didn’t really touch on kids younger than teens that much. Plus he didn’t really back much with research. Sure he used examples from his practice advising the ultra rich but these examples were often not that relevant. There were a few good chapters but the whole thing could be boiled down to “don’t give your kid a new car for their sixteenth birthday.”
