Get Smarter: Life and Business Lessons

This is a mentoring book primarily for the 20-to-40-year-old with entrepreneurial aspirations. Many older folks will also derive considerable inspiration from the life and business lessons contained in Get Smarter. In examining his own life Seymour Schulich, a Canadian billionaire and philanthropist, realized that at age 20 he-like others his age-knew very little and was aware of that fact. At 30, he writes, one thinks one has acquired a lot of wisdom. Upon later reflection, however, he realized he knew very little at that age, too! Get Smarter is Schulich's brilliantly idiosyncratic and informative attempt to impart lessons learned in a lifetime to todayâs youth by someone who has achieved success in both his personal and professional life. In short, stand-alone chapters he covers such universal issues as: -How to make a decision -Manage all types of relationships -Choose a career -Deal with adversity -Key business issues -Investing lessons Website
