Kickstart: How Successful Canadians Got Started

by Alexander Herman, Paul Matthews, Andrew Feindel

Dundurn | February 25, 2008 | Trade Paperback

In 2005, recent graduates Alex Herman, Paul Matthews, and Andrew Feindel realized they weren''t entirely sure where they were going in life. Then they had an idea. Over the next two years, they interviewed 70 well-known Canadians and asked them how they got started. The answers they found were not always what they expected.

Kickstart profiles over 30 prominent Canadians, including professional athletes (former CFL star Norman Kwong), TV personalities (Valerie Pringle), Native leaders (Matthew Coon Come), and former prime ministers (Brian Mulroney). Their collective wisdom, offered in their own words, just might help readers "kickstart" their own lives and careers.

This book is a true masterpiece that will quickly establish itself as a Canadian classic. Herman, Matthews, & Feindel demystify the Canadian corporate and professional landscape and provide a candid snapshot of "finding one's path" in today's competitive world. This is a 'MUST BUY' for any parent who has a graduating student making this significant step.

Exceptional! Each of my kids will have a copy of this book at their bedside. So should every parent that expects their child to go to law school or be a banker. These young and promising authors have taken the pressure of kids everywhere, showing them there are many paths to success.
