Oh, the Places You'll Go!
by Dr. Seuss
Seuss's last book, the perennial graduation gift: you will succeed, you will slump, you will wait in the Waiting Place, you will get mixed up, and you will move mountains. It is a complete philosophy of life in rhyme and it is not only for children.
Read it if…
you want the whole arc of trying, failing and continuing in ten minutes.
Skip it if…
you cannot take wisdom in rhyme.
Three things you will actually use
- The Waiting Place is where most people live; leave it.
- Slumps are part of the route.
- You are the one who will decide where to go.
Do this first
Read it aloud, especially the pages about the Waiting Place.
Our verdict
A philosophy of life in rhyme.
