Great Graduation Gift, then buy it for yourself

Bought this as a gift to my kids - one graduating from law school, the other from undergrad. Then, I caught myself reading it! Great motivator, for any stage in life. Nickerson offers real-life solutions to potential "roadblocks" in one's career. Well written and easy to read - in snippets or all at once.

After reading the book, one feels "I can do it"!
