Young Leaders 3.0: Stories, Insights, and Tips for Next-Generation Achievers

Young Leaders 3.0: Stories, Insights, and Tips for Next-Generation Achievers is a must-read for aspiring teenagers and young adults, as well as parents and educators. This book of anecdotes and interviews features the memoirs of a diverse group of twenty-three 17-to-24 year-old exemplars hailing from twenty elite universities, including Babson, Bowdoin, Brown, UChicago, Colgate, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Georgetown, Georgia Tech, Harvard, MIT, Northwestern, Oxford, Penn, Princeton, Stanford, UC Berkeley, UCLA, USC, and Yale.
 
These young leaders speak to their peers, offering practical insights and tips on family values, relationships, high school activities, college admissions, college life, internships, and career planning. Their stories--including successes, failures, and lessons learned along the way--go beyond grades, standardized test scores, and resumes. These achievers' reflections, advice, and personal visions not only help young people prepare for the future, but also help parents, educators, and executives understand how to relate to the next generation.
 
Author Jason L. Ma wraps up Young Leaders 3.0 with an epilogue that offers his actionable advice and summarizes the overarching themes, success patterns, and lessons learned.
 
"This book showcases the progression of soft skills and transformations of the modern multifaceted individual: emotional intelligence, critical thinking, and leadership skills," said Mr. Ma, founder and CEO of ThreeEQ, a firm that privately mentors students and young adults, coaches parents, and advises CEOs for success.
