This book offers suggestions as to how to beat the system, what to look out for and how to relate to people. It picks up on what really matters especially when you are still at school or college and many of these ideas are still relevant as you get older. There are people who will always put you down, things that happen which will leave you depressed and lost. Life still goes on and you need to look beyond these events to forge ahead and really find yourself and be happy. This book is not trying to teach your mother to suck eggs, but gives you the opportunity to look at some of the suggestions and see if these will make a difference in your life, which I truly believe they can. Alice was in wonderland but it didn't seem like that to her. When she woke up at the end of the story she became after all her wild experiences, I am sure, an ace in dealing with different people and situations.
