Product Description
There are plenty of guides on the market that claim to hold the secret to getting rich. But this book is different – Get Smarter offers advice as to how to make better, more informed career and personal decisions, resulting in the well-roundedness necessary for successful financial ventures. Penned by Seymour Schulich, one of North America’s most astute, savvy, and colorful businessmen and philanthropists, this guide draws from personal experience to educate business-minded young people. In 49 consise and easy chapters, Schulich describes the importance of keeping one’s outlook flexible, so that opportunities are not missed. He describes successful methods for decision-making, relationships, career choices, dealing with adversity, and exploring investment options. Get Smarter extends beyond the category of business strategy; Schulich’s recommendations will serve those looking to get rich — both in business and in life.

5 out of 5 stars A no Brainer - read it   September 26, 2008

I loved the book. Seymour Schulich is an accomplished entrepreneur billionaire which is why people might listen to him.

His advice is just old fashioned common sense (which is not that common)

The book consists of 48 very short chapters. (Don't be daunted -- this is a very simple and fast read.) It is written largely as an older man's mentoring for someone who is new and going into business. As I read the various rules, I couldn't help but smile and nod in agreement with almost everything he had to say in almost every area.

The book is not only business lessons but covers lessons on finance and life. He even gets into relationships.

I found the book to be a page turner (which might seem ironic for a business book, but perhaps I am different). It contained many gems and philosophies.

It is definitely worth the read!
