My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If You Want to be Successful, Don't Study at University is written by Lagnard Benz. This book has been written with an approach to help its readers unlock their minds from traditional methods of learning. Writer himself explained his experiences as a school teacher and how he found an urge to write on this topic.

After reading this book I could say that this book is an outcome of well researched topics and theories to support writer’s point of view. Traditional educational method in Universities is just making slaves so that these modern slaves could be hired by industrialists. As an outcome, jobs are confining employees’ mindsets and are hindering them to excel as an entrepreneur, that’s how jobs are responsible for increase in graphs of poverty. Writer supported this statement by giving real life examples of some successful entrepreneurs who were not even graduated from any university but they built empires of their own.

Instead of burdening students to learn multiple subjects in schools and colleges, they must be trained in specific areas of interest during their initial study years so that they could excel faster instead of being stuck in the loop after studying so many subjects to select one at the end.
Firstly; author explained with examples and with theories on life style how we are programmed by certain factors and how can we reprogram ourselves to find success. Factors that are programming us are; the effect of our geographical areas, environment in which we live, influence of family and friends, societal impact, influence of modern media etc.

Then he explained solutions so that we could reprogram ourselves. He described how we could replace our memory with new learning’s, read good books and use critical thinking to overcome current challenges of traditional education methods.

This is a good self-help book as reader could find help to realize problems of traditional Universities teaching methods and then this book will breakdown all problems with solutions to achieve success in life. So those are who struggling in this area to find answers, should read this book.
