Written by a veteran high school teacher, this books is divided into nine chapters, each one detailing one of the nine powers, or gifts, that when harnessed make a person powerful. Mrs. Brooks backs up her ideas with extensive research and gives examples of real families and how they teach these skills to their children. Furthermore, at the end of each chapter, there is an addendum for teachers to apply these ideas in the classroom. She describes this book in the Prologue, as "the book she'd wished she's read when she was raising her own daughter." It is surprisingly simple to understand yet filled with the philosophical questions of our era.
