Read about another book on the list.10½ Things No Commencement Speaker Has Ever Said
by Charles Wheelan
The perfect antidote to the shopworn platitudes that some graduates have to endure at the hands of uninspired speakers, Charles Wheelan's compendium of advice about happiness and success is refreshingly honest and funny. Though the moment when a diploma is granted is undoubtedly a time of celebration, it can also be fraught with anxiety, and the author seeks to acknowledge and allay those fears with hard-won wisdom, lent additional charm by the whimsy of New Yorker cartoonist Peter Steiner's irreverent illustrations.
