Dad’s Little Book of Life Lessons
By Eric M. Doroshow
When we are born, we receive no instruction manual or tools on how we should live our lives.
In this book, author Eric Doroshow draws on his lifetime experiences as a lawyer, a real estate investor,
and an executive coach to provide practical ideas for moving the reader’s life forward.
The idea behind the book originated from the author’s youngest daughter who asked him to write a book
about the lessons he learned in his life so that he could pass on these lessons to her and others.
The book begins with the experience of Doroshow’s first year in his law practice, and the lessons he learned
after his office burned down. Some of the other life lessons he shares focus on developing equanimity and
patience as keys for one’s personal development, and the steps used to accumulate wealth.
Doroshow also draws on his experience as a bankruptcy attorney to illustrate how consumers get into
financial trouble, and the top ways they go broke.
Doroshow also shares his insight on how to become more organized and efficient, his experience of hiring
dozens of persons during his career, and practical do’s and don’ts in applying for your dream job.
He draws on ancient Toltec wisdom to provide guidance to living one’s life, and summarizes the key attributes
of people who become successful in life. At the book’s conclusion, many of the attributes described throughout
the book are applied in reflecting on the life and practices of successful American businessman Warren Buffett.
If you are looking for some common sense guidance on how to live your life
in a more productive and meaningful way, this book is for you.
