The aim of this book is to bridge the gap between what we are taught in higher education and the skills we need to thrive in the real world.
It's Not Just My Opinion
This book represents opinions from 45 thriving young pros, whom I've interviewed personally. In conducting these interviews, I've attempted to attain as diverse a spread of opinions as possible. Interviews were conducted both formally, and informally, individually and in groups.
This book features the most interesting opinions while ensuring an even demographic representation. Given the diversity of the respondents, conflicting opinions were inevitable. However, it was interesting to see how much the internet has broken down barriers between right and wrong, and good and bad.
Exactly What You're Getting
First and foremost, this isn't "just another business book".
At 72 pages, you can read and digest all the content in one day. There's no beating around the bush and each chapter gets straight to the point (literally within the first sentence), this is my promise.
The issues mentioned in this book are the most relevant and consistent themes across the responding body.
These include:
- The number one challenge you'll face as a young pro. Page 20.
- The biggest mistake you can make your early career, and how to avoid it. Page 29.
- How to differentiate between constructive and destructive criticism in your 20's. Page 34.
- Why you should invest a large chunk of your time in building your network. Page 45.

- How to be a good leader in your 20's. Page 62.
If you are in university, higher education, or a young professional, this book is a must read.
