    A massive train of wealth transfer is bearing down on society, and it is not going to stop. During the next quarter century, the United States will experience the largest transfer of wealth in modern history. According to the financial consulting firm Cerulli Associates, over the next twenty-five years, forty - five million households will transfer an estimated $68.4 trillion to the next generation. If your family is among those participating in this transfer, there are many significant actions you need to take — because doing it well will affect the lives of everyone in your family and their descendants, and the life of our society as a whole. Effective wealth transfer requires intelligent dialogue with, and consideration for, each inheritor and the whole family. In Your Time with the Baton, Steve Braverman, a veteran wealth manager and man of wealth himself, provides you with an intimate perspective on how to make this happen.

    What if you could reignite your childhood creativity in a systematic way, to overstep self-imposed limitations and to discover what you are really capable of achieving? It's all here at your fingertips. Defy conventional wisdom and give reign to your imagination for success in your business and your life. 
    Continuous innovation is both necessary and exhilarating, and we all possess the inner capacity for it. Our capacity has simply been buried and lays dormant within us. As children, our imagination knew no boundaries. We would grab a slingshot and be instantly transformed into a warrior, a spy, a huntress, or protector of treasure. But as we grew older, our intellectual comfort zone shifted from that of continuous exploration and inquisitiveness to that of conformity with accepted norms of perception. All is not lost, however. We just need the right framework to re-engage our youthful creativity: the Slingshot Framework. 
    Find out why you need to infatuate your target audience and to provide them continuous lifestyle enrichment; how to become market-driving and to shape your offering for broadest relevance; and how to channel your reclaimed creativity into smart strategy. Launch yourself to new business and personal heights and have fun doing it. 
    Re-enforcing the book's message, brilliant illustrations by children accompany the text from beginning to end, while original music and toy slingshots provide readers with a truly multi-sensory experience.
