7 Street-Smart Skills They Don’t Teach You In College

A very important topic. seanmalarky 

I am listening in March 2012, but continually relevant content, nevertheless.

I have 3 comments.One is that the book should be the basis of a curriculum in all high schools. What is true for colleges is more so for high schools and more important, and with a greater attentive audience potential. We are building the same type classrooms as 1900 ,in buildings tha cost millions, and feeding kids drugs to sit there, and hiring security to protect them. What success skills are they learning? Entitlement mentalities?

The same success steps for business needs to work in politicss as well. Outcome vs output. We need legislators who understand their role is to focus on what the country needs vs. what we are "entitled" to. Giving as many kids as possible the tools to THINK, and react rather than absorb, will make us better citizens and better workers, not to mention wealthier in dollars and in spirit. Well Done!

Hi Sean, Sure this kind of writings will be criticized by MBAs ;-)

Hi Sean, I think it is too late for me to compete for the book. As a matter of fact, there is no indication of the date of the post, so... I really don't know where am I in time related to it. I just wanted to say your blog is nice and I have a lot to learn from it. Actually I wanted to submit to your newsletter, but I couldn't find it. Just wanted to say I follow you on Tw, LI & FB and hope we get to work together sometime. I am on Michael's program via Tim Ferris's blog and in 8 months I will be able to "graduate" from it. All the best, DC

This is great video, thanks Sean & Lewis. You really need to share this video with your contacts, as well as watching it yourself as soon as you have a moment. Top notch work. Guys!

Sean, Thank you for the chance to listen to Michael Ellsberg's webinar here. Amongst the life awesome stories/lessons, the one I like the most is about his mom learning from him. As a parent, it was a time when I was teaching my children, then learning with them, and now I am excited to learn from them. My 21 years old is a wiz, creator of video games, and enthusiast about technology. So much to learn from him! It is a continuous renewal of a relationship, awesome, evolved and mature, more satisfying for those who accept it, like Michael's mom.

Great advice Sean! thank you

I sent this to my twins who are in college as well as jobseekers I know. I have told my kids for years to practice the Golden Rule. You get what you give and when we have a genuine interest in others we never, ever stop learning. That includes our ability to build and nurture our relationships.

Regardless of any controversy surrounding this book, I like this guy because he's invested in actual relationships with people. That's some good shit.

Excellent. Very compatible with my system.

So this is almost like a modern day "Think and Grow Rich" isn't it? Sounds pretty awesome. That and there's a David Gilmour in it? Pink Floyd is my favorite band. That totally sold me on the idea :).
