Miriam (USA: MN) (2021/12/03): "The best lesson anyone can learn from business school is an awareness of what it can't teach you--all the ins and outs of everyday business life. Those ins and outs are largely a self-learning process, though knowing the experience of someone like myself might make the learning shorter, easier, and a lot less painful . . . what this book is really about is "street smarts": the ability to make active positive use of your instincts, insights, and perceptions. To use them to get where you want to go, preferably by the shortest route, even if this means jumnping some fences or going through a few back alleys." - from the Preface
