Get Smarter

Seymour Schulich is a self-made billionare whose career has spanned stock brokerage, investment counseling, mining and the oil industry. He is amoung Canada's greatest philanthropists, having donated in excess of $350 million to a vast number of university faculties, educational scholarships and medical health centres. 

In Get Smarter: Life and Business Lessons, Leader Edition, Mr. Schulich imparts the many lessons he has learned throughout his life and career to the next generation of entrepreneurs and business leaders. In short, stand-alone chapters, he covers such universal issues as: how to make important decisions; manage all levels of professional and personal relationships; choose the most promising and appropriate career; how to deal with adversity; key business issues and investing lessons. 

"Schulich has a business school named after him. But when it comes to giving advice, the former stock analyst who struck it rich ... is anything but academic. In Get Smarter ... he ladles out homespun wisdom in ... crisply written, anecdote-laden chapters aimed at 20 - to 40 - year olds, but golden at any age. He states his hope that each reader who invests time and money in the book will leave with 20 to 30 ideas - some that can help transform or shape their lives. In fact, he delivers."
