As a teacher for more than twenty years, I have watched many seniors prepare for graduation. In my own teaching, I have helped to prepare my own students for this transition through the writing and reading they do. However, I have never found a book that provides that crucial "stepping stone" as well as Selig's does. It's simply terrific. I am especially impressed by the diversity of her sources of inspiration: from the writing of students to those of professional writers, both past and present,this book offers its readers a rich mine of ideas. My only regret is the subtitle which targets this book as a book for graduation. It is certainly that, but it would be a great gift for anyone who is taking a next big step of any kind -- moving on from a death or a divorce,beginning a new career, etc.

This is not just a book for individuals experienceing graduation from high school or college, but rather for everyone who is on this journy called life. We all graduate from one phase of our life to another, and this book is an execellet compulation of reflective passages of the best words of wisdom written by the greatest people of our present times. This is a must read! Thomas Clyder

My mom bought this book for me for my early graduation present. She thought it looked like something I needed to take to college. She was right. This book to me is the best present anyone could have ever given me. It has sooo much in it. The famous pros in this book truly touch ones soul, and warm the heart. There is a passage in there about mothers and daughters that really made me cry. There are other passages that made me laugh, because they related so well to me. I recommend this book for anyone who is looking for a graduation present, it truly is the best!!!!!!!!!!

I purchased this book for each and every one of my cousins that has graduated high school and college since last year, and they all love it. It is one of the most inspirational books I have ever read! I'm truly surprised that its not all over the NY Times bestsellers lists! Thank you so much Jennifer!

If you could only buy one present for someone graduating this year, this is the book! As a mother, I purchased this book for a graduating student and was compelled to glance through it before wrapping. What an inspiring group of past and present day role models! I think that the graduate will especially love all the up-to-date qoutes, stories, and comics that are true to life today, as we approach the millenium. This is the perfect gift book!

Boy, this is a terrific book. I would highly recommend it for all readers young and old... we're all are graduating continuously from one stage or other in our lives, so even those of us who have left school a long time ago can benefit from its wisdom. Kudos to Ms. Selig for an excellent job done.

When I first recieved a copy of what now? I must say it wasn't what I had expected. Though After reading through it, I thought to myself now here's a book that shine's with inspiration. I was so glad that I had gotten the words and wisdom that I needed from so many different resources. Not only was it the inspiration but the being able to reflect upon my experiences with those that were shared in the book. I would definetely recomend that not only seniors who are graduating from high school get a copy but also those who thrive off of daily inspiration, this is the book for you!

I found that the book was over priced at $40, when I found another one in a gift shop at $20 -
