Best Selling Author is willing to donate 100,000 books to schools to improve the real life education skills of our teenagers, as he says our school system is still in the 19th Century and failing our youth of today.
Author of “What I Didn’t Learn At School But Wish I Had” and Co-Author of Napoleon Hill’s famous “Think and Grow Rich” amended for the 21st Century, is offering to donate 50,000 of each book to all Australian Schools, as he said the practical real life education is sadly lacking in our outdated school system.
When you think about our current school system, it was designed in the 19th Century which was the age of Industrialisation. The world at the time had mass need for factory and assembly line workers and thus conformity was largely what education was based upon.
But today’s world is dramatically different as we have advanced into the information age, which requires less conformity and  more problem solving, including  the ability to think and create new solutions and advancements of our society to overcome climate change and create alternate fuels etc.
Unfortunately our school system, over the 12 years children spend at school, could accomplish so much more, but misses a grand opportunity to advance and equip our future leaders with not only the knowledge, but the real life application of how to deal with a world that demands and requires practical skills and has little regard for theory.
To encourage more practical life skills and creative thinking Mr McIntyre, who is a successful entrepreneur with over a dozen successful companies and is one of Australia’s leading Financial Educators, believes every school should be equipped with Napoleon Hill’s classic “Think and Grow Rich”, which McIntyre has updated for the 21st Century. It includes stories of Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, the Google Co. founders and one of McIntyre’s Business Mentors, Richard Branson.
And also his Best Selling Book “What I Didn’t Learn At School But Wish I Had”, which has already been read by over 250,000 people and was recently updated for re-release into Australian bookstores in mid October.
If every Australian school was equipped with these 2 books for every teenager to study, that alone would make a massive improvement in human potential of our country. Thus why I’m donating 100,000 copies to schools throughout Australia, says Mr McIntyre.
Education is the biggest single determinant in the increase GDP of countries, according to the OECD, reported in the Financial Review recently that boosts a country’s GDP above others per capita and Australia’s education is falling behind, limiting our greatest asset.
Mr McIntyre says he is also making available to any readers an eBook version of both books, at no charge, which retail in bookstores for $34.95 and $19.95 respectively.
