10 1/2 Things No Commencement Speaker Has Ever Said

by Charles Wheelan Author and Peter Steiner Illustrator

A wisdom-filled book of 101 aphorisms that corrects the overly saccharine sayings usually trotted out at commencement speeches. Originally a Dartmouth Class Day speech turned into a viral best-seller, this book collects wisdom backed by ample social science research. Instead of platatudes this book recognizes realities such as the fact that much "wasted" time is, in fact, time well spent, or the honest advice that the worst days in life probably are still in the future. A perfect gift for graduates of any age.
