Quotes and Notes A Dad's Best Advice for His Kids
by John Austin
This isn't a book you read start to finish in one sitting; it's a practicing cardiac surgeon's lifetime collection of sticky-note advice to his three kids, organized by theme rather than narrative. Treat it as a reference you dip into rather than a cover-to-cover read.

Publisher's summary
Communication with your kids can be challenging, especially when you're a cardiac surgeon whose schedule rarely aligns with the family's.
John Austin left for work before the sun rose each day, so he learned to supplement his three children with inspiration and life lessons, typically attached to the refrigerator via a sticky note.
Now, his lifetime's collection of quotes have been compiled into this beautiful book, one that is sure to inspire you and teach your own children valuable life lessons.
