"The Wealthy Gardener is a hybrid. It is half fiction, half nonfiction. Chapters are divided into life lessons, each opening with a fictional story followed by real-life anecdotes. Why this format? As a father I wanted to engage my son in many lessons on wealth, but I didn't want to preach at him. A better way to do it then was by creating a parable. Like reading a biography for pleasure and insight, learning through stories can be more enjoyable and profound. While this approach comes at the risk of oversimplifying principles, it is a risk chosen for the greater good of clarity. The hybrid format remains the best way to entertain, engage, and explain the lessons of prosperity"-- Provided by publisher.
