The Education of Millionaires: Everything You Won"t Learn in College About How to Be Successful (Audiobook)




The Education of Millionaires: Everything You Won"t Learn in College About How to Be Successful (Audiobook) by Michael Ellsberg


English | 2012 | ISBN: n/a | 9 hours and 51 minutes | MP3 64 kbps | 266 MB




The Myth: If you get into a good college, study hard, and graduate with excellent grades, you will be pretty much set for a successful career.




The Reality: The biggest thing you won"t learn in college is how to succeed professionally.




Some of the smartest, most successful people in the country didn"t finish college. None of them learned their most critical skills in an institution of higher education. And like them, most of what you"ll need to learn to be successful you"ll have to learn on your own, outside of school.




Michael Ellsberg set out to fill in the gaps by interviewing a wide range of millionaires and billionaires who don"t have college degrees, including fashion magnate Russell Simmons, Facebook cofounder Dustin Moskovitz and founding president Sean Parker, WordPress creator Matt Mullenweg, and Pink Floyd songwriter and lead guitarist David Gilmour. Among the fascinating things he learned:




• How fashion designer Marc Ecko started earning $ 1,000 a week in high school with his own clothing business and later grew it into an empire.


• How billionaire Phillip Ruffin went from lowly department store clerk with no college degree to owner of Treasure Island on the Vegas Strip.


• How John Paul DeJoria went from homelessness to billionaire as the founder of John Paul Mitchell Systems hair care products.




This book is your guide to developing practical success skills in the real world. Even if you"ve already gone through college, the most important skills weren"t on the curriculum–how to find great mentors, build a world-class network, learn real-world marketing and sales, make your work meaningful (and your meaning work), build the brand of you, master the art of bootstrapping, and more.




Learning the skills in this book well is a necessary addition to any education, whether you"re a high school dropout or a graduate of Harvard Law School.

Innovative Accreditation Standards in Education and Training (repost)




Pietro Previtali, "Innovative Accreditation Standards in Education and Training: The Italian Experience in Ethical Standards and the Impact on Business Organisation"


English | 2015 | ISBN-10: 3319169157 | 122 pages | pdf | 3 MB




The aim of this book is to examine how technical and institutional factors affect the responsiveness of public and private organisations to a change in accreditation standards, with specific reference to the vocational educational and training (VET) sector and ethical standards. In particular, the authors analyse the Italian experience regarding a new accreditation standard recently adopted in the Region of Lombardy. Although based on a national experience, this innovative approach to accreditation systems in the educational sector provides a more general framework of analysis of how ethics and compliance can be applied in business organisation worldwide.








Evidence-Based Approaches in Positive Education: Implementing a Strategic Framework for Well-being in Schools (repost)




Martin Seligman, "Evidence-Based Approaches in Positive Education: Implementing a Strategic Framework for Well-being in Schools"


English | 2015 | ISBN-10: 9401796661 | 181 pages | pdf | 4 MB




Based on action research and implementation at one of the world’s great schools, this book provides a much-needed exploration of how to implement positive education at a whole school level. Evidence-Based Approaches in Positive Education summarises the integration of a whole-school mental health and well-being strategy, positive psychology programs and pastoral care models from 3 – 18 years of age. Positive education is the teaching of scientifically validated programs from positive psychology and character education that have an impact on student and staff well-being. It is an approach that focuses on teaching, building and embedding social and emotional learning throughout a student’s experience. St Peter’s College – Adelaide is the only institution in the world to integrate Martin Seligman’s well-being theory throughout all aspects of both its strategic intent and positive education programs. The School’s vision is to be a world-class school where all boys flourish. Its mission is to provide an exceptional education that brings out the very best in every boy. This is done within an intellectually and spiritually rich environment that nurtures international-mindedness, intercultural understanding, respect and a commitment to social justice. This book captures the developments of the St Peter’s College journey. It focuses on the integration of well-being across seven strategic goals: Academics; Well-being; Student Life; Entrepreneurship; Innovation and Partnerships; People, Culture and Change; Sustainability and Environment; Community Engagement, Advancement, and Philanthropy. A uniquely Australian school, the impact of a St Peter’s College education is to build great men: who believe safety, service and integrity and fundamental parts of their lives; who are active members of communities that are socially and culturally diverse; who engage in political, ethical, and environmental challenges as good citizens. Since 1847, St Peter’s College alumni have had global and life-changing impact in all fields of human endeavour. The School’s alumni include three Nobel Laureates, 42 Rhodes Scholars, Olympians and Archbishops, artists and scientists, educators and journalists, actors and politicians, philanthropists and physicians, CEOs, diplomats and soldiers, explorers, painters and poets. This book shares evidence-based practices and makes a substantial contribution to the rapidly developing field of positive psychology and its application in schools.
