Críticas

"Few people have done as much to champion innovative thinking as Tina Seelig. The principles in her book will surely spark new ideas. It is a must-read for the next generation of entrepreneurs and seasoned veterans alike."--David Kelley, Founder IDEO

"This is a great guide to moving in more exciting, creative, and fulfilling directions, written by a person who is an expert at doing so. But if Tina Seelig had known any more when she was 20, the world probably could not now contain her. "--Jim Adams, Author, Conceptual Blockbusting

"Forget 20--This is the kind of stuff I wish I knew now... Tina is doing us all a big favor by giving us a roadmap to life!"--Guy Kawasaki, co-founder of Alltop and author of Reality Check

"Tina is the most inspirational creativity voice I know. Her book is much better than a whack on the side of your head. It's a whack on the side of your soul!"--Geoffrey Moore, Author, Crossing the Chasm, Dealing with Darwin

"Seelig is a sharp observer and a gentle and thoughtful writer. Recollections of her own circuitous career path, along with observations of behavior of friends, family, students and colleagues are fertile ground for her.--Miami Herald

"True, it's written by a woman (a Stanford University professor, no less), but this 'crash course in making your way in the world' is full of realistic tips that help put things into perspective."--Sacramento Bee

"It's almost impossible to read the first line of Tina Seelig's book and not grab pen and paper to jot down a river of pent-up ideas and possibilities . . . A galvanizing document, [it] gives us -- more than anything else -- permission to develop our dreams."--Santa Cruz Sentinel

"Wise, witty and packed with stories of those who are making a difference and some who are making a fortune...The only trouble is that you will need two dozen copies to give to everyone."--Patricia Ryan Madson, author of Improv Wisdom: Don't Prepare, Just Show Up

"Anybody who wants to live an entrepreneurial life filled with purpose and passion needs to read this book. It's chockfull of practical tools and tips to bring out the best in each of us."--Steve Case, Chairman of Revolution and The Case Foundation, and co-founder of AOL

"Tina Seelig is one of the most creative and inspiring teachers at Stanford. Her book ought to be required reading. I wish I had read it when I was 20... and again at 50."--Robert Sutton, Stanford University Professor and author The No-Asshole Rule
