Since in recent years I've been studying part-time for my CGA, I pulled this off the shelf & gave it a quick breeze-through a while back. Didn't find it very helpful, but that could be because I'm so far removed from that life now. One quote I did mark:

"Much of the stress of school and ultimately the working world is caused by a constant and underlying fear that there exists some event that you should be preparing for, or some item that you have forgotten."

Also scanned a funny illustration for this journal entry. Book is now Available, hopefully it will find someone for whom it's relevant.
