perfect graduation present

I am presenting this as a gift to everyone I know who is graduating!! It's not a self-help book with random advice by some self help author but instead really analyzes the top people in field to which many young people aspire (sports, entertianment, business, etc.) It's deeper and more current that the "What Color Is My Parachute?" type books and can serve as a life-long reference...

A great, timely, uplifting read.

Through sharing their stories, these highly successful people seem just like ordinary people. You feel as if you really get to know them once you've read their stories and that success could even happen to you. It's interesting to read about the five archetypes of success and decide which type best describes you. I loved the book. It's written in an interesting, easy to read style - a definite page turner. A great, timely, uplifing read.
