Letters to a Young Brother: Manifest Your Destiny

This book was astounding. A lot of good advice and guidance for young men like me. Would definitely recommend to young men trying to navigate the world on their own.

I order this book for my son, he really likes it and feels as if it really has inspired him in many ways.

My grandson loved it!

Christmas gift/thanks for your business

I gifted this book to my nephew who is 25 years of age. He told me that the book is relevant to men his age. He found it so interesting that he wanted to finish the book in one day. Good buy.

Amazing book to read. This story really touches a lot of areas of my own life and personal goals. I really enjoyed these letters and emails between the young man and himself.I just wish he would have met the young man face-to-face before the book ended. That would have really been awesome.

Forget about the title. Harper has crafted a fabulous book that will appeal to nearly all teens -- not just at-risk African-American boys. While the book speaks directly to African-American males, its smart yet cool approach to the problems that plague all teens, but particularly young people who are poor or members of a minority group, will also be a hit with girls and members of other beleaguered minority groups, as well. The language is laden with slang but intelligent, and both Harper and his extremely phat friends will make inroads where even caring teachers and parents might not. The book could easily have become sappy, but it never does.Harper's inclusion of his celebrity friends and of full-color photographs of him partying with them might provoke some teen to read the book who might not at first been inclined to do so. It was another spot-on move by Harper. I am really grateful to him for providing young people with such a frank blueprint for growth.Students who might be Caucasian and affluent will still love the book's message that everyone -- even handsome, successful TV stars -- sometimes feel lonely, have trouble approaching members of the opposite sex, and make mistakes.What about straight-A students bound for Yale? They will be attracted to Harper, who graduated from Harvard Law School cum laude. The school's jocks will love that Harper was a college football hero. For the free spirits out there, Harper begins each chapter with a pithy quote from sources as disparate as the Persian poet Rumi, former President Bill Clinton, and rapper Andre 3000 (nee André Benjamin). Harper really has a hook for most of the cliques in American high schools.

I bought this book for my 11-year-old Grandson and it was definitely a conversation piece in some areas; however, it is age-appropriate for this day and time.

Ein Buch was optimal für Jugendliche und junge Erwachsenen ist. Schon fast ein Muss 👍

LOVE IT

I bought this book for my son, as i am a single parent and wanted to offer him a male perspective on life.He is 12 soon to be 13 this week and cannot put the book down and reads it everynight before bed. I have read brief extracts just to see if it is okay for his age, even though i think it is written for the older teen years, but at least its an eye opener for young male teens growing up.I would really recommend it to other mothers who would like to buy this for their sons.

Excellent nook for young people, I am circulating recommendation to young people
