The Analects of An Old Man is a tribute by an old man to his father while also at the same time sharing with the world small bits of information, sometimes silly sometimes profound but always authentic bits of deep conversations that help to bond and heal relationships in an often turbulent and often inhospitable world.
Having seen his father only briefly before he passed away the following year, Matti's youngest son has attempted to capture some of Matti's magic as a charmer to the ladies, a lifetime businessman, a pianist and a race car driver of another era in these analects before memories start to fade. Especially of what countless hours they never had to discuss what fathers and sons talk about and the wisdom he might have shared to help his son better understand, life, love and the world.
As such Analects of An Old Man are truly what Matti himself may have said, after living an extraordinary life, to share with the world in greater detail. As analects for posterity, as a glimpse at his own unique perspicacity, and as part of the massive range of advice a lifetime of success against adversity gave him.
