I'm a canadian high school student so some things don't apply but a lot of the things said could apply. I was applying some of the things he mentions such as the law of focus and having projects. The advice given in this book is solid and useful even outside of high school. I would recommend it to high school students but also to anyone who wants to improve their life in some way.

good and engaging book

It's amazing

A perfect give for a young student.
