About the Book
This is the sixth book in the "Language of Conscience Evolution" series which exposes a method of thinking that already has the worlds greatest influencers, policy makers, and leaders applauding because the book touches the very heart of cultural existence at every level at home, in the community, in the country, and across the globe. The book focuses on many of the issues our world, and each one of us as an individual, face today. It reveals how economics and politics often serve self-interests, however culture includes values-based decision making. These ideas present what a world-renown author calls Enlightened Conservatism an appreciation for the free-market system guarded by values-based self-regulation. Through thought-provoking dialogue, this book analyses some uniquely specific cleavage points and decisions that ultimately changed history, and it challenges the reader to recognise similar points of current opportunity.

Review :
"Alfred Chandler, Jr. taught us the wisdom of studying business history as a management tool for progress and improvements. Thus, we must also understand that one day we will be standing on the decisions that we are making today. The Wisdom of Generations reveals how family values form the core of our culture. This book explains how those values guide our decisions--or should guide our decisions. We also learn what happens when those values are excluded from the decision-making process. Any serious-minded business, political, military or community leader should read this book. It is a must-read for anyone seeking to become a leader with a legacy--rather than just a boss."
Ronald L. Loveless, Retired Wal-mart Executive/Founding CEO, Sam's Clubs, Business Consultant
"America is better today because of Cesar Chavez; America will also be a better country because of the effects of Skipper's writings. We will always be friends because we know the depth of each other's motivation for our children's future, and motivation comes from the depths of the heart and mind."
Dolores Huerta, Co-Founder, United Farm Workers Union
"The bridges built through Skipper's writings on conscience and common cultural values serve as a powerful advocacy of Western values to many of the critical nations of the future such as in China and Latin America." *

"The Wisdom of Generations is bigger than a book. It's obvious to all that the world is in a state of transition. This book creates a foundation of thought that transcends boundaries, cultures, and politics. Tieman H. Dippel is the voice our world, our communities, and our perceptions need to initiate legitimate progress. He provides a framework of how to think, instead of what to think--a refreshing approach when so many powerful voices are intended on swaying thought or creating "buy-in." This book is for the serious minded individual, and the person who can truly understand that we are one world and one people."
John Guerra, CEO, Aztec Worldwide Group, LTD. and the United Consumer Coalition, Former Managing Director, AT&T Caribbean & Latin America

The Wisdom of Generations is the defense of family values, integrity, and the necessity of institutions and corporations to adapt higher levels of governance, standards of competence, and responsible compassion if they are to protect market systems and what they can produce.

The Wisdom of Generations spotlights the moral hazards we all face in life as individuals and addresses the greatest global problems of the world. Skipper shows how both require great resistance to the lures of greed, irresponsibility, corruption, and the need to always stand on the rock of ethical responsibility for the greatest good.
