We go to school to prepare for life and learn essential life skills. These skills include communication, productivity, habits, negotiation, marketing, sales, and more. And yet, instead of teaching us these life-essential skills, school forces us to learn things we rarely use in the real world.

Luckily, some of the best information on how to succeed in life, comes from books. In fact, some of the world’s most successful people have said they’ve achieved their success using skills they acquired from books. Not school.
