Pithy Precepts - Aspirations and Inspirations

About the Book

A practicing pundit's take on two hundred topics, all distilled into a page or less.

The basic idea of Pithy Precepts is to capture the author's thoughts on life, business and finance in a terse and entertaining format. Responding to questions from his offspring as well as their kids, author, entrepreneur and investor Pete Prestegaard gives his unabashed take on life, God, society, men and women, family, sex, kids, medicine, sports, starting a business, money, investing and retirement, plus more than 150 related topics.

His ideas are presented in his usual terse and pointed manner, leaving little to interpret, with longer illustrative essays on several key entries.

The overall concept is to provide input and serve as a guide for his and other families in the future.

Included also are more than 100 crisp thoughts, poems and even prayers of other and five appendices with life assist and background setting information.

About the Author

This is a brain dump! It arose from requests and observations of family needs plus an effort to give a more personal view of life and acquaint offspring to unknown things about me before I'm gone, something I felt I missed with my own parents. I live in suburban New York. The prime joys of life these days are grandfathering, investing (when the market is going well), boating and writing.
