I am getting tons of emails from parents and students asking me more about what I will include in the book I’m writing called The World Is Your Campus: Skip the SAT, Save Thousands On Tuition, and Get An Outrageously Relevant Global Education.
They want to know what kinds of things I’m going to talk about. They don’t want to wait for the book to come out, dang it–they want to know NOW.
Well, I can’t spill it all here. I’m sorry. It’s a legal/contract thing. But here’s my handy dandy list of the kinds of things you’ll learn about (and my apologies if this just makes you more impatient….)
A Taste of Freedom:
▄ Never worry about your GPA, SAT score, or class rank
▄ Enter a top liberal arts university as a junior at age 18
▄ Get paid to work virtually while spending the summer in exotic locations–and get credit for it
▄ Graduate at the age of 20—even if you’ve studied in four universities on three continents
▄ Get two years’ worth of college credits—during your senior year of high school
▄ Get a degree from a top-ranked college at a total cost of less than $40,000 (No loans, no debt.)
▄ Explore the ruins of Machu Picchu, go snowboarding in the Andes, sleep under the stars in a Chilean desert, dance all night in Buenos Aires, celebrate Carnaval in Brazil, hike the glaciers of Patagonia, become a cherished member of a family in another country, and develop a global perspective by sharing experiences with friends from around the world—as an exchange student at 16
▄ Speak two or more languages fluently
▄ Pay $1500 instead of $15,000 for the same study abroad program as your Ivy League peers
▄ Start your sophomore year of college—at 16
▄ Connect with accomplished mentors who can boost your skills, reveal your talents, and open the door to new levels of learning
▄ Master the art of self-management
▄ Travel widely, find meaningful and well-compensated work, and discover your place as a valued and valuable global citizen
My four daughters have done all of the above. Really. This book will show you how they did it and give you everything you need to get an extraordinary global education that doesn’t cost a fortune.
You’ll have to be a bit of a rebel–or, more precisely, a free agent (don’t worry–I’ll show you how!) You won’t be hanging on to old notions about how long it takes and how much it costs to get a great education.
You’re going to feel liberated–and a little pissed off, frankly. Because what you’re going to learn is that there is a much easier, more effective, more engaging and more inexpensive way to get a college degree than the one most students know–and nobody is telling you about it.
I will. I promise. And I’ll provide as many tips and hints here as I can until the book hits the shelves.
Stay with me.

I’m very excited for your book, even though, unfortunately, I’m a senior in high school.
When will the book be released?
