5.0 out of 5 stars Blueprint for navigating from the industrial era to the technology era

I saw Steve speak a few weeks ago in Adelaide, South Australia. He had a great message, passion and energy. I bought his book before he even left the room and could not put it down. Not all the lessons he shares will resonate for everyone but I'm certain, like me, you will think and act differently in your future endeavors, what is possible and how you inspire your kid's learning.

5.0 out of 5 stars Game Changer!
Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2017
This book is an absolute GAME CHANGER!!

I recently took a much needed trip back to my home land of South Africa, I felt I needed to get back to my roots and visit family to understand who I was again. I'd been working long hours, for up 3 weeks back to back and without much more than 4 days off in-between. I was making good money but had no passion for what I was doing and felt i'd become just another rat in the race.

While waiting for my flight to depart, I picked up Steve's book from one of the bookstores and literally didn't put it down until i'd read it cover to cover. Its embarrassing to admit, but I can't remember the last time i'd read a book in whole. Steve's way of writing really connected with me and has inspired and motivated me to go out on my own and start a business.

Reading this book has made me realise that the tech revolution requires new approaches to business and an overhaul of our education system, which is failing so many students. You won't find this priceless information in any school or university, its real life experience and does not portray a fake overnight success plan like many other books might. For those willing/able to adapt and change with technology, the opportunities are endless.

I've never read a book twice but this is the type of book you keep on the shelf and refer back to, time and time again.
Thank you Steve for sharing your insights and ideas and for ultimately giving me the confidence to go out and work for myself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sometimes a book comes into your life at just the right moment.
Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2018
I recently read ‘The Lessons School Forgot: How to Hack Your Way Through the Technology Revolution’ as I happened to come across this book at a holiday house I was staying in. Wow, sometimes a book comes into your life at just the right moment. I have an online health business and yes, I have a product that solves a problem for people and it’s doing well. But my business often feels like I own a boat (money keeps going into a deep hole). Turns out getting a startup going is one thing, keeping it going presents a whole new set of challenges. I’ve tried different accountants but found they are good at recording history and telling me where I have gone wrong. But I what I need is a forward vision. That is, how do I learn from mistakes and become a better entrepreneur? The information Steve Sammartino provides is clear, and simple. I feel now I have a framework to take control of my business finances. Thanks Steve for writing this important book!

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2018
I have used this book as a gift for recent Uni graduates. I'm a father, and this is the book I wish someone would have given to my child. I'm deeply into education (running a company doing pretty serious experiments teaching deep learning) and this book is full of actionable stuff. Most books on education are pure fluff, I must have read (or tried) about a hundred. This one is mostly a self-install mental model that will help you think in a way that works in the 21st century.

If you have not considered yourself as a walking business, if you think that once you leave Uni there's no need to dedicate serious time to learning, and if you are not saving much... you need this book.

My favorite part: the 10 meetings technique to enter a new business area. That alone is worth the price of the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars I eagerly await Charlie Munger's review of this book.
Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2018
I eagerly await Charlie Munger's review of this book.

One of Charlie Munger's most valuable yet simple lessons is "Invert". By looking at the world in a different way - sometimes even in the complete opposite to convention - we can often distil the truth that's hidden behind inertia, rusted-on attitudes, and ill-informed experts.

That truth is exactly what Steve Sammartino finds with The Lessons School Forgot. By looking at the world in his unique way, Sammartino exposes the mistruths, forgotten realities, and brain-diamonds that suddenly seem obvious - "incentives shape behaviour", "being vs. organising", "society says spend". These are not just lessons school forgot - these are lessons that will help you succeed without becoming a self-help tragic.

Having personally gone from employee to freelancer to business owner Steve is spot on with his lessons in this book. He manages to break complex things down into very simple ideas that should change the way most employee mindset see the world. I hope the education system takes note with this book and starts teaching the next generation what they need to know to thrive in a quickly changing world.
