When Tina Seelig realized that her seventeen-year-old son would soon be out in the world' she panicked at the thought of missing a chance to impart important lessons before he left for college. She started to make a list of things that she wished she had known when she was a young adult-things that would have made her more successful and much less anxious' things that she had learned through her impressive corporate career and through teaching the brightest students in the country. This list transformed into a dynamic lecture' which she has now presented at various high-profile venues including Stanford University and West Point Military Academy' and is the inspiration for this book.
The topics in the book range from ways to identify opportunities' balance priorities' work in teams' learn from failure' to how to squeeze the most juice out of life. Each chapter is filled with stories that animate the concepts. Part Maria Shriver's Just Who Will You Be and part Randy Pausch's The Last Lecture' this book is the perfect graduation gift.
