He thought that success required knowledge of advanced mathematics, inventory management equations, and whiz-bang marketing techniques. But, he made some interesting discoveries. He came to realize that the greatest contributor to his business success was found in life experiences, not textbooks. Mr. Maybury said his business strategy was Read the rest of this entry »

“I don’t just half-heartedly recommend this book…I want to urge you, as strongly and sincerely as possible to read it for yourself. Only then give it to a kid you like. Karl’s book crystallizes thoughts that most people have had, but haven’t thought out fully. It washes away the foundations upon which fears and guilt are constructed over a lifetime; it replaces them with ideas you always believed in intuitively but weren’t quite sure how to defend. This book is really great for kids and adults.’ –Douglas Casey, author of Investing in Crisis
“…definitely the best book I have ever seen directed to children on the theory of how to go into business for yourself…this book is really absorbing reading” -Mary Pride, The Teaching Home

As Mr. Maybury states, “The more information you get, the more you need models to separate the wheat from the chaff.” We are living in the information age. We are loaded down with data more than any other time in history. We need to know how to determine what is important and what is not. What to read and what to ignore.

 In this extensively revised and expanded second edition, through letters to his nephew, Uncle Eric introduces the concept of model. Models (or paradigms) are how people think; they are how we understand our world. Models help us recognize and use the information that is important and bypass that which is not.  Scientists do not memorize facts, but create models and compare all incoming facts against their models – revisng their models and checking the facts as they proceed.

To achieve success in our careers, investments, and every other part of our lives, we need sound models. In this book, Mr. Maybury introduces the models he has found most useful (Economics and Higher Law). This is the first book in the Uncle Eric series and, while designed to stand alone, provides an excellent foundation for Maybury’s other books.  Children aged 14 years and older will find these concepts easy, but Mr Maybury’s style is so clear that younger students could grasp them with a bit of parental guidance.  Good to read aloud to, and discuss with, all your children.  Workbooks are available to help enrich the learning experience. We love Richard Maybury’s books!
