It’s nice to know that even Shriver knows we’re all human, you know? So don’t sweat the little things, and gain as many notions as you can before heading out into the real world, or while you are still currently in it.
Trying to navigate the quote on quote “real world” is kind of aggravating, annoying, and just plain hard.
Sometimes you just want to go cry in a corner while other days you are happier than a calm.
Looking back, you have probably had moments in which you wish someone would have told you certain things that you should have known before you graduated from college. That’s where one of Maria Shriver’s amazing books comes in handy.
In her enlightening and empowering book, Ten Things I Wish I’d Known Before I Went Out Into the Real World, renowned journalist and author Maria Shriver tells you the real deal, while also comforting you on the times in which you may have already made mistakes.
According to one Amazon.com Reviewer: “Maria Shriver’s warmth, humor, and wisdom are evident on every page of this little book. Inspired by her commencement speech at the College of the Holy Cross, the book contains stories and insights that will be helpful, entertaining, and encouraging to graduates at every stage of life. The lessons themselves–“be willing to fail,” “stand your ethical ground,” “marriage is a hell of a lot of hard work”–are nothing new. What makes them interesting are the life stories that accompany them and Shriver’s personable, friendly style.
Reading this book feels like having a cup of coffee with a wise and funny friend. Tales of her first television experiences are surprising and hilarious, and she takes balancing motherhood and career to new levels–imagine postponing an interview with Fidel Castro to get your daughter to her first day of kindergarten!
Each chapter is easy to read and ends with a focused lesson–kind of a bullet point from her original speech–that encourages readers to be ultimately true to themselves and their dreams, while cutting through harmful illusions. The last chapter, on laughter, is one to read again and again. Shriver maintains that without laughter not much else matters, and in life’s toughest times it’s laughter that gets us through.
For anyone starting a new adventure–graduation, marriage, parenthood, career shift, or a milestone birthday–Ten Things I Wish I’d Known brings wisdom, laughter, practical suggestions, and a down-to-earth manner together into one fabulous gift.” -Jill Lightner
