“Intelligent & Insightful”
“Chock-Full of Valuable Life Lessons”
“An invaluable resource”
“Well worth the read”
“What started as helpful life lessons and letters to his children has blossomed into an invaluable resource and read for anyone that wants to Be Better. Bockius poignantly describes that, like software, we as humans are always in beta – but it’s through our struggle and ultimate growth that we become better and contribute to the world.”
Erik Qualman: New York Times Best-Selling Author and Motivational Speaker.
“What I most admire in Chad’s work is the sincerity and authenticity with which he writes. There’s no question that his goal here is to give — to give what he has learned about life to his children, and to give to the reader practical lessons he has gathered as he has grown into being a father. These kind of insightful collections from those who pay attention to living are truly gifts to the world, and anyone who reads Chad’s book will recognize that even though he’s humble about what he’s offering, there’s real wisdom in what he’s found.”
Dr. Dan French: TV Writer, Producer and Entrepreneur
“Earnest and wise; these are the practical thoughts of a philosopher dad, from which all of us can benefit whether we are willing to admit it or not.”
Harry Max: Founder, CEO and Google Leadership Coach
“Intelligent and insightful. A catalyst for constructive reflection from which to make a more purposeful step forward each day, week and year. By far my favorites letters are those where Chad shared the deepest stories that shaped who he is as a father, husband, confidant, executive and friend.”
Criss Harms: Chief Financial Officer
“Enlightening and chock-full of valuable life lessons. Not only did it speak toward success as an individual, but it laid out a pathway for being a better person. Regardless of age, the bearing on our compass need be checked from time to time to assure we are indeed living, ‘the life we want to live’.”
Brett Hessenius: Triple Crown Hiker
