Northbrook's own Charlie Wheelan, has written his second book. This one is modeled on his 2011 Class Day Speech at Dartmouth College. It's a collection of refreshingly honest advice and observations that are an antidote to those cotton-candy platitudes that are all too familiar to anyone who 's ever worn a mortarboard. Armed with a PhD in public policy, many years of experience in social science research, and perhaps most important good-natured humor, Charlie offers up 10 head-turning aphorisms on happiness and success that anyone staring down the barrel of graduation needs to hear but probably hasn’t heard yet. Celebrated New Yorker cartoonist Peter Steiner adds a touch of whimsy with his irreverent illustrations sprinkled throughout. Come chat with Charlie and have wine and cheese. It should be a hoot. His book, "10 1/2 Things No Commencement Speaker Ever Said" will make a great graduation gift.
