Grad to Grown-Up: 68 Tips to Excel in Your Personal and Professional Life
Everything you didn’t learn in school but all you need to know to launch your personal and professional life.
Grad to 68 Tips to Excel in Your Personal and Professional Life is a unique self-help book that offers a roadmap to kickstart your future. Rags-to-riches author and CEO Gene Rice and his high school English teacher daughter Courtney Bejgrowicz demystify adulthood by sharing critical information alongside professional and personal successes and failures. The five sections—life, job search, career, personal finance, and health and relationships—provide real-world insights that are often overlooked in formal education. You will learn everything from how to conquer the interview process to how to get promoted; from myths about credit scores to the impact of taxes; from the power of meditation to positively impacting society; and much more. Armed with this knowledge, you will be ready to move out on your own and move up in life.
“Gene is one of the top executive recruiters in the world. He’s helped me, as well as over a thousand others, get the jobs of their dreams. This book will help anyone starting out in their career or looking to advance. Even better? He shares how personal growth is essential to professional success.”
—World B. Free, Former NBA All-Star, 76ers Ambassador
“This is a highly illuminating work of distilled wisdom from two fine sensibilities who are from two dramatically different generations. A perfect graduation gift!”

This book is really easy to read through, and I especially love the "Courtney Comment" at the end of each chapter. I would recommend this book to every person who has graduated from high school and is living on their own. It's like I'm reading a "how to survive through life" book that offers tips on many different aspects of life. Each chapter covers a new topic and each chapter is only 3-5 pages long. When I need advice on something, I can go to the Contexts section, find the section I'm looking for, and feel like I've learned something new after only 5 minutes. If you're fresh out of high school, or you're first grandchild is being born, this book has something for you!

Great book! I just graduated from college and started working in corporate America. I hope to implement some of these tips in my own life in order to create a better future for myself and my future family! Thank you Gene and Courtney!
