The myth: If you get into a good college, study hard, and graduate with excellent grades, you will be pretty much set for a successful career.
The reality: The biggest thing you won’t learn in college is how to succeed professionally.

Everyone needs education to get ahead. But what kind of education is most likely to lead to your own financial and career success outside of school? Michael Ellsberg, author of The Education of Millionaires: It's Not What You Think, and It's Not Too Late (Penguin/Portfolio) has spent the last year meeting, interviewing, and learning from the world's most successful people, mostly millionaires and billionaires, who didn't complete college and who educated themselves in the real world of business. This lecture distills their secrets, with applicable real-world strategies for self-education that anyone can apply to get ahead in their career.

Michael Ellsberg is the bestselling author of The Education of Millionaires: It's Not What You Think, and It's Not Too Late(Penguin/Portfolio), which debuted as an instant best-seller and was named to multiple "Best Books of the Year" lists in 2011. He is also the author of The Power of Eye Contact: Your Secret for Success in Business, Love and Life (HarperCollins).

The Education of Millionairesis a bootstrapper's guide to investing in your own human capital. Ellsberg interviewed some of the most successful people on the planet who didn't complete college and who educated themselves in the real world, to deconstruct their secrets and create a "Syllabus for a Successful Life" based on what he learned from them.

He has lectured at Google, the Thiel Fellowship, and the World Technology Forum – to name a few and is a currently one of the most sought-after young thinkers and speakers in the world.
