What Zizi Gave Honeyboy

Book excerpt: Hundreds of corporations nationwide seek the advice of Gerald Celente, America's #1 trends analyst. But a series of visits to his cuddly 83-year-old Italian aunt, Zizi, gives this experienced prognosticator something to think about. Along with the delicious food, friendship, and motherly love she normally serves, Zizi offers her nephew, "Honeyboy, " some plainspoken truths about the American dream. Targeting some of the essential issues of our time -- work, family, health care, politics, war, and aging -- Zizi raises some tough questions for Celente to consider. Are we really better off today? Or have we lost too many timeless old-world values in the march of progress? And what does the future hold for all of us? The result is this insightful, timely book -- a wakeup call for us all -- to reorder priorities and renew kindness and respect in today's self-centered, dog-eat-dog world.
