The antidote to those cotton-candy platitudes that are all too
familiar to anyone who’s ever worn a mortarboard, Wheelan’s 101
head-turning aphorisms—backed up by a PhD in public policy and
extensive social science research—set the record straight.
Readers everywhere agreed, turning a Dartmouth Class Day speech
that had gone viral into a best-selling book. Whether praising the
time “wasted” in fraternity basements; mentioning that,
frankly, the worst days of your life still lie ahead; or simply
asking that graduates avoid wreaking the kind of havoc that others
before them have, Wheelan softens his candid conclusions with
good-natured charm and tales of unconventional success. With
cartoons sprinkled throughout to keep things light, this volume
makes a perfect gift for graduates of all ages.
