Hardback. Condizione: Good. Real-world wisdom for when the textbook ends.Why do some of the most successful people in the world?from Bill Gates to Steve Jobs, Oprah Winfrey to Ralph Lauren?never finish college, while others with every academic advantage still struggle to find their way? For William R. Brody, a renowned physician-scientist and the former president of Johns Hopkins University, the answer lies in a truth higher education all too often overlooks: life, unlike textbooks, has no answer key. Most of the truly important questions we face rarely have a ready rubric and a simple solution.In Uncommon Sense, Brody distills lessons from decades in medicine, engineering, entrepreneurship, and academic leadership into a thoughtful, surprising, and often humorous exploration of how to think?and live?beyond the syllabus. Born from his popular Johns Hopkins seminar aimed at graduating seniors, the book exposes the gap between classroom achievement and real-world wisdom, offering readers a practical framework for navigating the unpredictable opportunities and sometimes contrarian decisions that define success and fulfillment.Examining paradoxes of ambition, limits to rational problem-solving, and the value of curiosity and integrity, Brody reveals how unconventional thinking, humility, and ethical reasoning can guide better choices in work and in life. Part reflection, part guide, and wholly original, Uncommon Sense offers readers at any stage of life a chance to rethink what it means to be educated?and what it truly takes to succeed in a world that rewards not just intelligence, but uncommon insight.…

Aggiungi al carrelloHardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good Minus. Reprint. This Literary Guild of America reprint edition was published in the same year as the 1st Edition. This copy is almost 100 years old, has been well taken care of and is in fine condition. Its construction is unlike most of the poorly made book club editions. The buckram covered boards, high quality paper and matching top stain add up to a handsome edition possibly as desirable and rare as the first edition. The text block is solid, clean and square. Pictorial endpapers are clear of markings with small previous owner's bookplate under front flap. Spine tight, boards rigid and tips pointed. Slight push to spine ends. There is no book club deboss on the rear cover. The jacket is in very good minus condition and has some closed tearing along backstrip seams and chipping/loss at spine ends and some edges. It looks sleek in a shiny new plastic cover. Shipping box is suitable for wrapping with a non-price listed purchase order inside along with biodegradable packing.…
