The University of Hard Knocks
About this book
Parlette argues that the hardships and failures of everyday life form a "university of hard knocks" that teaches lessons no formal school can. Readers of traditional self-help and motivational writing would appreciate this inspirational essay.
(Note: the work itself is a famous American lecture/essay from around 1910–1921, so 1996 is likely a reprint edition rather than the true first publication.)
