In an atypical move, I decided to read this non-textbook source of information.</p> <h2 id="worth-reading">Worth Reading</h2> <p>I quite enjoyed it, Schulich has arranged the book in to a ton of tiny chapters. In each, he quickly and effectively conveys an opinion or experience of his. If you&rsquo;re not interested in something, it&rsquo;s easy to skip on (granted I never did) and the rest of the book will still make sense. Given Schulich&rsquo;s history, this is a man with some neat concepts to convey. He discusses a vast range of topics from his opinions about assessing career options to finding meaning in life.</p>
