Street Smarts, Beyond the Diploma recently received the “Book of the Year” award for the student demographic from the Institute of Financial Literacy. The EIFLE award was presented at the Institute’s national convention in Orlando in April, 2012. Street Smarts responds to everyone who says “someone should write a book about the “school of hard knocks.” This book is about life skills – the development of those habits and traits that line the path to success. It’s intended to bridge the gap in the traditional college curriculum between “book smarts” and all the real-world, practical information and life skills that students need to succeed after graduation. Street Smarts, Beyond the Diploma is the result of three years of interviews with hundreds of successful people from all walks of life. This book summarizes 125 lessons that were identified over and over as to what students need to understand and master. Critics have raved about the book commenting on its visual format, “less is more” delivery, and entertainment value. No library descriptions found. |
