What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20 – 10th Anniversary Edition Audiobook Summary

A revised and updated edition of the international bestseller

Inspiring listeners all over the globe to reimagine their future, this revised and updated edition of What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20 features new material to complement the classic text.

Major life transitions such as leaving the protected environment of school or starting a new career can be daunting. It is scary to face a wall of choices, knowing that no one is going to tell us if we make the right decision. There is no clearly delineated path or recipe for success. Even figuring out how and where to start can be a challenge.

As head of the Stanford Technology Ventures Program, Tina Seelig’s job is to guide her students as they make the difficult transition from the academic environment to the professional world–providing tangible skills and insights that will last a lifetime. Seelig is a wildly popular and award-winning teacher and in What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20 she shares with us what she offers her students -provocative stories, inspiring advice, and a big dose of humility and humor.

This audiobook is filled with captivating examples, from the classroom to the boardroom, of individuals defying expectations, challenging assumptions, and achieving unprecedented success. Seelig throws out the old rules and provides a new model for reaching our potential. We discover how to have a healthy disregard for the impossible; how to recover from failure; and how most problems are remarkable opportunities in disguise.

What I Wish I Knew When I Was Twenty is a much-needed audiobook for everyone looking to make their mark in the world.

This book is not only for twentysomething. It's for who is having questions about their life path, their work, relationships and other things. Containing the basic life lessons that we may forget in our vicious and routine days, reminding us to be excellent, to do our best in life and get what we want. The author's voice is humble and open, with her stories shared in the book just like a talk between friends.

A surprisingly, surprisingly good read with many practical useable ideas and great stories. It's also, happily, the kind of book that can be read easily on the bus to work. What more could you ask from a book? Well, it inspired me to write this little essay entitled, "What I Wish I Knew When I was 36". https://www.wattpad.com/599593487-pur...Thank you, Ms. Seeling. And many happy journeys.

I expected this book to be more “list-ey” but fortunately it wasn’t. Instead there’s a bunch of short chapters with specific lessons that encourage entrepreneurship (in the broad sense, not the start your own business sense). Essentially, it all boils down to that point; give yourself permission to be good at whatever it is you’re doing, to do better than you are asked to do, and to help others more than you expect help in return.Overall, it was good; Tina uses a lot of examples from people she has met and taught. Probably my favorite story is the title story from the chapter "Turn Lemonade into Helicopters". Essentially, she helped a random guy from Chili in the grocery store with how to make frozen lemonade, they became friends, then when she was in Chile years later his family gave her a private helicopter tour around the city. Pretty cool. From now on I help everyone I meet in the grocery store.

Tina Seelig's inspiring and insightful book resonates with many of my thoughts and worries at the moment. Being 20 years old, also dealing with uncertainty and a future out of focus, and I'm very glad to have received these precious advice early on in life. As I reached the end the book, I found myself with even more knowledge about life and myself.A few memorable things of mine: 1. The key to success is not dodging every bullet but being able to recover quickly.2. If you throw gasoline on a log, you just get a wet log. But if you throw gasoline on a small flame, you get an inferno. 3. Every idea has its value. 4. Find the sweet spot that overlays between our passion and our skills, and how the market would value our skills. 5. It's important to reassess your life and career relatively frequently.6. Keep a Failure Resume 7. Competition can be counterproductive. There's a difference between being competitive and being driven to objectives. Focus more on maximizing our chances through being well-prepared, physically, intellectually and emotionally.
