Overview

“The goal of this book is to provide a new lens through which to view the challenges that face each of us every day,” writes popular Stanford University professor Tina Seelig in What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20. “Of course, there is endless uncertainty at each turn of our lives, but with the confidence that comes from understanding how others have coped with similar ambiguity, I hope the stress associated with change will morph into excitement, and that the challenges that you face can be viewed as opportunities.” Based on the dynamic course that Seelig teaches at Stanford University, the topics in the book range from ways to identify opportunities, balance priorities, work in teams, learn from failure, and how to squeeze the most juice out of life. Filled with stories that animate the concepts, What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20 is the perfect gift for all occasions.
