Oh, the beginning of adulthood! How it can be trying, painful, and oh-so lesson-filled. With such big transitions that we face as young adults, it’s easy to get dismayed and to feel as if we don’t know what the heck we’re doing.
Thankfully, one book is offering us perspective on how we can get it right so that our lives in the near future and later can be the best years to come.
What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20 is the perfect read for any 20-something who is trying to navigate through life.
Written by Stanford Technology Ventures Program executive director Tina Seelig, the book provides pivotal strategies for young adults to transition from the college world to the professional world with much more ease than they would necessarily have going it alone.
An Amazon.com reviewer had this to say about the book: “These pages are filled with fascinating examples, from the classroom to the boardroom, of individuals defying expectations, challenging assumptions, and achieving amazing success. Seelig throws out the old rules and provides a new model for reaching our highest potential. We discover how to have a healthy disregard for the impossible, how to recover from failure, and how most problems are remarkable opportunities in disguise.”
Another reviewer had this to say: “Anybody who wants to live an entrepreneurial life filled with purpose and passion needs to read this book. It’s chockfull of practical tools and tips to bring out the best in each of us.” (Steve Case, Chairman of Revolution and The Case Foundation, and co-founder of AOL)
But enough about the reviews. Are you seriously looking to make your mark? Well, now is the time for you to not just take their word, or even our word for it. Instead, you should just read the book.
Happy Reading!
