My mother told me she had the opportunity to go listen to Eleanor Roosevelt give a talk at her college during the 1930's. She said Mrs. Roosevelt was a powerful and inspriational speaker, while at the same time seem like a next door neighbor. After reading this book, I have to agree with my mother (don't tell her that!). This book is filled lots of very practical and useful ideas for everyday living. I would recommend this book for high school reading and then have them re-read it about tens after graduation.

This is a excellent book for any graduate, no matter what stage of life. Eleanor Roosevelt offers advice on how to be the best person one can be. Even at middle age I found this book to be very inspirational at this stage of my life. Live life to the fullest.
