"Success in the twenty-first century depends on street smarts, not
book smarts. It has to do with your motivation, network, passion,
and ability to make other believe in you. You'll learn stuff in
college, but you won't develop these skills-which are requisite for
success in life. Whether you go to college or not, The Education of
Millionaires will help you learn what it takes to succeed in
today's entrepreneurial economy." — Dale J. Stephens, founder of
Uncollege.org
"Michael Ellsberg's book is provocative and wise. Tuition is
skyrocketing, job prospects are grim, and the race for bogus
credentials has turned into a runaway status competition for
positional goods. The Education of Millionaires offers a renegade
path for anyone who wants vital skills without the crushing burden
of student debt." — Peter Thiel, cofounder of PayPal and first
outside investor in Facebook
"Your success in a knowledge society depends on mastery of soft
skills and practical intelligence-and yet they don't show up in
college or high school curriculums. Ellsberg's rebellious book
provides a street-smart education to fill the gap." — Keith
Ferrazzi, author of the #1 bestseller Who's Got Your Back
"As Michael so aptly explains in this delightful read: your
education starts in the crib and ends when you take your final
breath. In a fully realized life, it is all about lifelong
learning." — Lynda Resnick, vice chairman, Roll International,
Teleflora, and PomWonderful
"Self-education is the key to upgrading your mind and your life.
Michael's book teaches you how to unlock the education available
outside of classes, all around you." — Matt Mullenweg, creator,
WordPress.org
"This book is a masterpiece. Gripping and whip-smart, The Education
of Millionaires will forever revolutionize your thoughts on the
connection between education, career success and prosperity.
Ellsberg is careful to avoid 'motivational fluff' and instead
provides mind-blowingly sharp (and humorous) brass-tacks advice on
how to profit handsomely by becoming a lifelong learner." — Jenny
Blake, author of Life After College
"If entrepreneurs were running schools, instead of bureaucrats,
schools would be teaching a lot more of the skills and mindsets
found in this book. Since they're not, this book is a necessary
antidote to a traditional college education." — Scott Banister,
founder of IronPort Systems, Banister Capital
"This is the must read of the next era of education. This one book
could be all the education you ever need to massively outperform
even the Ivy League. The secrets contained are brilliant and simple
to adopt." — Cameron Herold, author of Double Double, former COO of
1-800-GOT-JUNK?
"Just like the entrepreneurs he highlights in his book, Ellsberg
challenges the conventional wisdom of what it takes to make it in
this world. If you have an idea and the drive, nothing can stop
you. And Ellsberg proves it." — Simon Sinek, author of Start With
Why
"You don't need a degree to live life on your own terms: you need
economically valuable skills. Ellsberg's book is the blueprint for
entrepreneurial education." — Josh Kaufman, author of The Personal
MBA: Master the Art of Business
"Provocative and timely, Ellsberg lays bare what he sees as a giant
hole in much of traditional education-a focus on 'academic'
knowledge and a de-emphasis on the knowledge and skills necessary
to actually succeed in life. Drawing from a wealth of interviews
with successful entrepreneurs, he hones in on seven key success
skills that help put you back in the driver's seat." — Jonathan
Fields, author of Uncertainty
