Undertakers Son: Life Lessons PB

Head basketball coach of Notre Dame at age 29, a position he held for more than two decades with a 100 percent graduation rate, an attention-getting figure in President George H. W. Bush s anti-drug program, part-time ambassador, a nationally adored ESPN commentator, and a possible Presidential candidate, Richard Digger Phelps has done it all. Undertaker s Son is an eminently readable, inspirational, account of how he rose from an unmotivated student in small-town Beacon, New York, to a nationally known figure who attracts attention wherever he goes. One lesson: Do it today, for tomorrow might not come a hard lesson he learned while apprenticing at his father s funeral home. In Undertaker s Son, the irrepressible Phelps gives advice that really matters, whether it s how to get getting ahead in business, make the right decision, or plan for the future. Here also is Phelps s plan for a better America in these contentious times. Brutally honest, inspirational and often humorous, Phelps s message will appeal to anyone seeking an edge in business or life.This is the perfect gift for anyone who loves a turnaround story."
