A Crash Course on Making Your Place in the World
By: Tina Seelig
Publisher's Summary
Major life transitions such as leaving the protected environment of school or starting a new career can be daunting. It is scary to face a wall of choices, knowing that no one is going to tell us whether or not we are making the right decision. There is no clearly delineated path or recipe for success. Even figuring out how and where to start can be a challenge. That is, until now.
As executive director of the Stanford Technology Ventures Program, Tina Seelig guides her students as they make the difficult transition from the academic environment to the professional world, providing tangible skills and insights that will last a lifetime. Seelig is an entrepreneur, neuroscientist, and popular teacher, and in What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20 she shares with us what she offers her students' - provocative stories, inspiring advice, and a big dose of humility and humor.
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.
What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20 is a much-needed book for everyone looking to make their mark on the world.

有些雞湯 但是給了很多例子支持每個觀點 對于20歲確實是很有用的建議 1. 不要給自己set一個career path，stay open minded，多explore不同的option 2. 帶著traveler in a foreign country的心態(tài)去探索周圍熟悉的環(huán)境，會發(fā)現(xiàn)很多平時看不到的驚喜/問題 3. 當面對很艱難的選擇的時候，可以帶著“我希望之后interview的時候怎么給別人講述這段經(jīng)歷” 這樣的心態(tài)來做選擇 4. 世界很小，很有可能會再次遇到同樣的人。離開某個工作/項目的時候要盡可能體面，以免再次相見很尷尬。
