Recommendation

Tina Seelig, practice professor at Stanford University, offers an engaging perspective on making the shift from college to your career path with grace and finesse. Using her unique understanding as a neuroscientist working in innovation and entrepreneurship, she provides tips on how to unlock your creativity and achieve your goals. Much of Seelig's writing resonates as common sense, but she presents her ideas dynamically and illustrates her points with examples from Stanford University and Silicon Valley. Her advice will be valuable for those just starting their careers and for those seeking to reinvigorate them.

Take-Aways

  • As you join the work world after college, see problems as opportunities. Anticipate the challenge of finding new, innovative solutions.
  • Study your environment for things you could improve and for the tools you need to solve problems.
  • View your world as a “foreign traveler” to observe it closely and see it from a new perspective.
