Star Wars I Am Your Father: Lessons for Parents, Protectors, and Mentors Hardcover – Import, 5 May 2022

Such a sweet read

This is a fun motivational book with plenty of quotes from the Star Wars universe. It's a hard back book from DK which is officially licensed from Disney and has 72 pages of tips and advice on being a better parent/mentor. It doesn't take itself too seriously which is all part of this books charm. It's a book you can read at your leisure, dropping in and out whenever you have 5 minutes to spare.The presentation is excellent and the pages are designed nicely with plenty of official images, quotes and motivation text. It's split up into 5 categories (Mentoring, Encouragement, Lessons Learnt, Trust & Acceptance) which are all quite interesting.It would make a nice little gift for any Star Wars fan, especially if they're a new parent or team leader. I've enjoyed reading it and would recommend it.

Wasn't sure what to expect with this book at all especially as I don't have kids. That said, who doesn't like Star Wars! Alongside the fact I at times manage a team of people I thought I'd give it a read and see what it can offer.It's good fun! Lots of tips for mentoring and being positive all within the world and theme of Star Wars - and each tip linked to the movies in one way or another!

Easy to read and well written!Recommended it, especially as a gift!

This book has some good advice, some I'm not so sure about. The titles in the more to the point than the explanations.To be honest, I didn't find them convincing. For example, there's one on Lessons Learnt section, it says:Keep them focused"Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn is one of the Order's finest teachers. On a mission, his Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi is concerned about a distant threat he senses, but Qui-Gon is quick to reorient nis Padawan's attention to ensure their success in what they're doing right now. Don't be afraid to be forthright with those around you. There's a time for praise and a time for critique in a relationship between a young person and someone they look up to. If you see your Padawan drifting away from what they should be focusing on, take a moment to set their concentration back on track".The words don't relate to each other. One moment he's saying use your instincts, then overcome self-doubt, then don't overthink, then put negative thoughts etc. The explanations are not interrelated in my view.Don't get me wrong, there's loads of good advice here though.It's divided into 5 sections:🦹‍♂️Mentoring🦹‍♂️Encouragement🦹‍♂️Lessons Learnt🦹‍♂️Trust🦹‍♂️Acceptance
