About This Book
A Crash Course on Making Your Place in the World
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.
