This book is an expanded version of a graduation speech Shriver gave at Holy Cross College in Worchester, Massachusetts. I imagine the speech was creative and fun to listen to (as graduation speeches go), but the expansion was a bit tedious.
I thought it was pretty good. I recommend this book to high school seniors. There is a lot of valuable information in the book that are convayed through the authors life experiences
A autora escreveu um discurso para os formandos de uma grande universidade americana. Da expansão desse discurso nasceu 'As dez lições indispensáveis para começar sua vida', um livro que vai ajudar a tomar as decisões quando o mundo oferecer inúmeras opções e não tivermos a menor ideia de qual delas escolher.
