"Dr. Poulter offers an insightful look into a significant relationship that has helped shape who and how we are today. Very few of us can claim to have been raised by the ideal father. The resultant injuries, known or unknown, are impacting our lives as adults, constantly impeding our efforts to create satisfactory relationships in our personal and professional lives. The information that Dr. Poulter provides herein will help the reader attain the self-knowledge and understanding to remove these impediments."
-- Dr. Barry Weichman, D.D.S.
"First with Father Your Son and now with The Father Factor, Dr. Poulter illustrates the profound life-long effects our fathers and father figures have on our lives, both professional and personal. Coming to grips with those effects, especially the less positive ones, can confer equally profound benefits on our interpersonal relationships and help us understand why our own fathering, mentoring, and even managing styles have developed the way they have and what we can do to improve them."
-- Gordon J. Louttit, Business Executive and Lawyer
"Having never known my father or either of my grandfathers, it has been a considerable challenge to overcome that void in building my own successful entertainment litigation practice. The brilliance of Dr. Poulter's book is not only that he identifies the Father Factor as it impacts the careers of sons and daughters, but that he also establishes a formula for overcoming its often negative effects."
-- Edwin F. McPherson, Managing partner, McPherson & Kalmansohn, LLP, Los Angeles, CA
"A marvelous handbook which should be mandatory reading for all. He offers very clear 'cause and effect' parenting [advice] which not only is a necessary guide to the parent but provides a clear understanding of the foundation and cause of their own personality and behavior. This insight could transform a dysfunctional society into a smart, confident, thoughtful people who could actually work and live in harmony with respect and consideration for others. Kudos to Dr. Poulter for his insightful work."
-- Gordon Binder, Founder/CEO Amgen Corporation
"Until reading The Father Factor, I had never connected my relationship with my father to the successes that I have experienced in my career . . Dr. Poulter details the impact of the father/child relationship and how by understanding our experience, we can benefit and grow. As Dr. Poulter passionately emphasizes, relationships matter and fathers matter . . The Father Factor is truly a gift of insight to the power of relationships."
-- Tami Eldredge, Investment Banker
"One of the most insightful books ever written. As important as a having solid foundation is to building a good house, this book is to developing your self. Before anyone begins to read a Self Help/Leadership/Becoming a winner book, this should be required reading. Understanding the foundation you inherited from your father is key to developing into what you want to be."
-- Michael A. Costa, President, Simpson Housing Solutions and Father to Three Sons
