Rating: Summary: A must read for educators that want children to succeed. Review: Chad Foster relates to students in ways that we can only dream. Chad brings his own experience from the real world into the world of teenagers. He has spoken at three of our middle schools and our students have read his book with great interest. Chad provides a great service that we do not offer in our schools, true life experiences that the children can understand. If you have a mentor program, this is a must read. Students learn how and why they should communicate with other people. Chad uses life experiences from Presidents to Movie Stars to get the attention of the reader. His ability to get the kids to read this book without puttting it down is extrodinary. A must for any schools reading list.
Rating: Summary: Classroom use Review: Currently I am using this book in my speech class with 10-12 graders. Their reviews are mixed. Some are turned off and feel he is bragging, but they are in the minority. Most are intrigued by his ideas and are willing to rise to his challenge. They especially enjoy learning the art of conversation and the panel discussion with community leaders.

Rating: Summary: Teenagers Preparing for the Real World Review: I am a public high school teacher who has used this book in my classes. Yet, do not let the title of this book fool you. This is a book that gives advice on how to make yourself successful in the real world no matter what your age. I have incorporated the strategies from this book into my own life and career. It really can be used by everyone, for teenagers to discuss success in the future and adults to discuss what to do to make themselves successful right now. I have students who hate to return the book and have asked me how to get one to keep forever. I have ordered the book for my own brother, a college senior to help in his budding career. This book had more an effect on how I act in my career than any other!

Rating: Summary: Indispensable Guide for teens Review: I had the pleasure of hearing Chad Foster speak as well as reading this book when I was a teenager. It changed my life - made me realize the important things in life. Because of this book I have set realistic professional goals and worked hard to achieve them, which set me apart from most of the *clueless* people in my generation. I attribute part of my success to this book, which is thoroughly interesting and speaks the truth.
