If you are a high school student who prefers to have really rich experiences vs very standard ones. If you are someone looking for a school that will REALLY teach you how to think vs one that will give you a degree with a big name while you are lost among a see of faces and numbers, I highly recommend this book. Unfortunately for me I found the book to late to take advantage of most of the advice it gives, I think had I known about it in high school it could have provided valuable insight. Strongly recommended.

Very good book. Good advise for parents with kids who are not whole heartedly motivated by academics.

Great book, suggesting options I would not otherwise have come across on my own as a parent.
