5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic - required reading for EVERY highschool student!, August 23, 1999

This review is from: If You Don't Know Where Your're Going, You'll Probably End Up Somewhere Else (Paperback)

This book helps you to understand the things you should consider throughout your teenage years, or even later, that will influence your adult life. It particularly focuses on choosing a career. The primary point is how to ensure you get and keep lots of options open throughout your life. Although it's really written for highschool students, college students would find it useful also. Actually, it's valuable even for adults. Very easy reading; only takes about an hour to read, but is well worth the time.

This review is from: If You Don't Know Where You're Going, You'll Probably End Up Somewhere Else (Paperback)

I've heard the title of this book quoted for years. When I saw a copy at my inlaws house, I decided to read it.

Although it doesn't take lots of time to read, the return on time invested can be incredible. This is probably the best book I've read on goal setting--and I've read a ton.

I particularly like Campbell's realistic approach. He doesn't try to get you to squeeze your life into a predetermined, micromanaged mold. Instead, he offers lots of advice on how to increase your options as you go through life.

I'll be getting this book for my favorite high school grads for sure. But if you're a little past high school, as I am, don't count yourself out. This book could help just about anyone.

This review is from: If You Don't Know Where You're Going, You'll Probably End Up Somewhere Else (Paperback)

I first read this book when I was in college, and fell in love with it. I still read it about once a year, just to stay in touch with it. It's the best book I've ever found on goal-setting and establishing a place in the world for oneself--it packs a maximum amount of wisdom into the minimum number of words and does so in a way that is very enjoyable to read.

Buy two--one for yourself and one for your child!
