Product Description

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 today’s 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

1.0 out of 5 stars Get Smarter and save yourself money, Oct 15 2007

By	Lady Iron Fury (Toronto) - See all my reviews

This book is pure fluff: there is not one chapter that impressed. There was no advice of substance provided by the author, and in many ways I feel hoodwinked. Maybe therein lies the inside joke: Get Smarter and don't expect to Get Smarter by reading this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Impressed!, Oct 13 2007

By	S. haapala (Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Very simplistic and had very little concrete information that you could use to improve your overall wealth. I was disappointed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Points for life, not a manual, Jan 15 2009

By	J. Dyck (Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Get Smarter: Life and Business Lessons (Paperback)

While some people complain the book merley scratched the surface of many interesting ideas it was exactly what it promised to be. Lessons on life and business explained clearly with no chance of confusion. The bredth of subject matter covered is in itself impressive. If you are looking for a book to tell you exactly what to do with all your life and money this isn't it. But, it will definatly help you 'Get Smarter'.

Well, do you think Schulick got so far because he wasted his money on the kind of fluff written in this book... he is taking everyone for a fool. Read more
