Mr. Selter and I have collaborated on reading projects for children for the past two years and continue to do so.

“Please Pass the Potatoes” is a book worth reading. My takeaway through so much of the book was Mr. Selter’s love for people, and how he created opportunities for others.

Mr. Selter recounts some painful experiences in the book, but I believe we have a duty to share our stories, as he has, to hopefully help someone else. I cringed at the description he shared when he thought the world would be better off without him. Again, someone probably needs to hear that.

In recounting the ins and outs of his management career, Mr. Selter conveys the importance of respecting others. Throughout his story, he provides practical tools and principles for how to manage ourselves and connect with people.

All in all, this book will challenge and inspire.
