While we are discussing GARY HALBERT he wrote a series of letters called THE BORON LETTERS to his youngest son Bond.
This book is available on Amazon under $25.00 and if you’re a fan of the late great Gary Halbert you should definitely read this book! -

Oh nice.
I’d always assumed that good storytellers always learnt by intuition. (Unfortunately for me, my intuition told me to stop telling stories because I never hit the punch line).
