Get Smarter is Schulich's original 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: Making decisions; Choosing careers; Handling business; Dealing with adversity; Managing relationships; Investing lessons.
The objective (to paraphrase Oliver Wendell Holmes) is to stretch young people's minds with new ideas, age-old truths and insights such that they never return to their original dimensions. Readers of this book will derive considerable inspiration from the life and business lessons contained in it.
Many business or life lesson books leave you with two or three main ideas. Seymour Schulich's hope is that each reader who invests in this book will leave with twenty to thirty ideas—and some that they can use to help transform or shape their lives.
