The book is more for someone just out of highschool. It is for someone who is immature and does not have much experience with people or along the lines of being professional. The book to me was more about common sense and did not have any new insight for me. I am an adult over 40 in a cosmetology program who also comes with a nursing degree specializing in geripsych. I have dealt with all kinds of people over the years so maybe that is why the book did not really give me any new revealations on life having to do with cosmetology. It really is a book for those who are struggling with day to day life and maybe a negitive attitude. It does help those who need a more positive attitude about life in general. I however am a very positive person and very secure in what I believe. The books title should be: "Survival Guide for most students" It does make reference to Cosmetology but more so to student life and to someone who is young and inexperinced in life. There is not much more I can say about this book. I will probably pass it along to one of the students in my class who is in her early 20's I believe she could benefit from it.

I like this book, I found myself reading it and not putting it down. It has so many helpful tips and self-esteem boosting paragraphs. Reading the book was a stress relief in itself, just knowing that the support was their, even if you did not get it from famiily or friends. The main topic of this book is more like "You can do it, just believe in yourself" For the price, I am glad I got this book, little bit of pat me on the back encouragment in a paperback.

I've only had the book a short time and the first exercise has been helping me prepare for the next semester. As an older student, it has been an adjustment to be with the younger crowd. This manual and the quotes have helped me to remained focus on my goals. A must read.
