The other is the book The Rainbow Comes and Goes, and it is a year long email conversation between Anderson and his mother, opening up about things they hadn't talked about before. So in this two instances maybe they had some help in editing, and I do know that ghostwriters do write books for celebrities, no doubt. But in these two cases, I don't think so. Just my opinion.

I understand the point of trying to teach your children the value of money and work, and the nedd to work, but to say without hesitating 'I won't leave my children' anything is also terribly strange and I find it disturbing. They are not guilty of having well off or rich parents, and if there is anyone to love and care for is one's children. The thing is one has to bring them up with the proper values, and not as idle rich puppets. Leaving everything to others out of that sentiment and feeling can also be hurtful. If I were rich, I would leave my money also to my children, because I would probably love them more than anything else. There is nothing wrong with that, per se. Quite strange!
