In contrast to Peterson’s Essential Guide for group facilitators (elsewhere on this page), this book is designed for individual use by older teens and college students. The gifted and talented students who learned practical life skills from high school teacher Elyé encouraged her to expand this treasure trove of ideas for creating a personal notebook that develops a life plan. More than 20 chapters offer advice and activities on creativity, time management, public speaking, speed reading, choosing careers and mentors, and more. Each chapter ends with “Words of Wisdom” from writers, artists, scientists and world leaders. This rich compendium offers endless possibilities for self-improvement.
