Patrick Reynolds grew up in the 70s in a poverty-stricken, Liverpool-Irish, working-class background - leaving school at 16 with no qualifications. His upbringing was very tough, however, he went on to do some good things in life. Many years later with two children of his own he thought he would pass on a number of 'things' he wishes his parents had taught him. Why 75? No reason other than it's all the things he could think of. "I love it! Where can I buy one for each of my daughters? The most important lessons for life - all in one short book." Sarah Montague, BBC Journalist & Broadcaster "75 wise and true insights that could vastly improve the life of any child... I wish it had been there when I was a kid." David Yelland, Former Editor of The Sun
