OAKLAND, Calif., Feb. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Irving David Shapiro, Founder and President of the Mens Sana Foundation, today announced the availability in the form of a free ebook of his extensive knowledge and experience on how to start and run a successful business.

The ebook is directed primarily to budding teenage entrepreneurs all over the world.

All one need do to obtain a completely free copy of Harry's Business Primer For Kids is log on to http://www.ebooksmenssana.com/order_form.html and go from there.

As part of his credentials to write Harry's Business Primer For Kids, Dr. Shapiro had his own business at seventeen; was a Professor at the USC Graduate School of Business in the Sixties; wrote Harry Shapiro's Legacy, an insightful book on the subject of how to succeed in business beyond one's wildest dreams; and helped found a bank in California.

Also as part of his credentials to write Harry's Business Primer For Kids, Dr. Shapiro's business experience includes eight decades of "the best of times, the worst of times," prosperity and the Great Depression, runaway success and bankruptcy. As Dr. Shapiro himself puts it, "Ah yes, there's no substitute for experience. You want to learn how to be a successful businessman or woman? Do it all. As my grandchildren would say, 'Go for it!' And don't worry, Harry's Business Primer For Kids has got your back."

When asked why the ebook is free when it took some two years to write, illustrate, and have translated, Dr. Shapiro shrugged his shoulders and answered, "Why not free? God's been very good to me. It's the least I could do in return."
