Great practical takeaways
Highly recommended. I'm an organised, forward-thinking person, so this kind of approach really appeals to me. I'm excited about sharing this with my wife - it'll provide us with a excellent framework and universal language for focusing our family on what's important and how we make decisions.
Four stars instead of five because I thought too much of the "business stuff" from other books (specifically The Advantage) was covered early on. For me, that's fine, I'm a big fan of Lencioni and have introduced a lot of his work at my company. However, I think others may have to battle through some of that to get the real value from this book. But battle through they should, because the second half - when the main family starts breaking through and Lencioni provides several examples of real families implementing the three questions - is great!

Improve family functionality
The book has the same clear and engaging style as Lencioni’s business books - well done again, Patrick Lencioni

Contrived and impossible to take seriously
I couldn’t get more than a third of the way through this. The fable is a story so co thrived it was insulting. It was inauthentic, had twee interactions, and patronising. I couldn’t connect to the fake questions Theresa asks to expose the story.
For example, she says, “A few weeks ago I saw a sign in the elevator of a hospital that said their core values were... She thought about it for a moment before slowly ticking off the ones she could remember: [cue thinking voice by narrator] innovation, quality, teamwork, customer service, patient care, integrity, financial responsibility. She hesitated before continuing. They also had community service and diversity and environmentalism in there. They laughed.”
I was expecting something a bit more heavyweight and in keeping with Lencioni’s gravitas. Fine to make theory more accessible, but this was insultingly “dumbed down”.
I couldn’t see/hear through it to extract any legitimate content.
