In The Quest for Legitimacy: How Children of Prominent Families Discover Their Unique Place in the World, accomplished family and private wealth consultant Dr. James Weiner delivers a unique and eye-opening discussion of the Rising Generation's quest for self-determination in the shadow of a larger-than-life family. The author relies on qualitative research conducted on wealthy families to explore topics like:

  • Separating from and returning to your family while finding people to trust on your journey
  • How to deal with the long shadows cast by wealthy family members

Perfect for members of wealthy and accomplished families, as well as the people who advise them, The Quest for Legitimacy is an essential read for anyone navigating the complex dynamics of accomplished families.
