The Real World is a collection of practical ideas to empower young adults as they enter and adjust to the real world. The ideas are simple, straightforward and easy to adapt; no major life changes are needed (though some could result). Most high schools and colleges still focus primarily on academics and ignore teaching practical skills needed to thrive in the real world.Role models for young adults are often entertainers, Olympic athletes and sports figures, all of whom devote much time to achieve their goals. Self-help media most often teach about major changes that are needed to succeed with a new approach to living. Instead, The Real World offers simple yet powerful ideas that can be harnessed immediately and successfully to one’s life without a “major internal overhaul.”Some of the book’s more than 160 powerful ideas include how to:-Interview successfully and enter the workforce-Get great reference letters-Think for oneself-Begin building wealth (even with student loans)-Manage time effectively-Communicate clearly in business and personal relationships

If someone were to hand you this book and say, “Read this and you will be prepared for life’s most prevalent challenges,” would you read it? This book is a collection of wisdom accumulated by a man who has traversed many of life’s challenges and gleaned insight from some of the world’s most accomplished and insightful people. Each page has a nugget that many will pay top dollar for a life coach or therapist to share with them. These are words written by someone who is truly well versed in the business world and equally versed in the limitations we find in our lives. This is your invitation. Read this book. It will be worth your time.David Kramer is an open minded, driven educator. While my association with him was as a teaching assistant, I learned countless life lessons from him. With every person he meets, he accepts who they are, and encourages them to be their best. This is how he leads and how he teaches. He radiates a passion to give back to everyone around him. The Real World is not written with the intention and claiming fame and riches, but rather to genuinely benefit those who read it.
