About this book
Elias asked more than a hundred mentors — sailors, surgeons, spies (retired), street artists, and CEOs — the questions he wished someone had asked him at twenty-five: What purchase under $100 changed your life? What would you put on a billboard? What unusual habit do you love?
The Mentor Circle is their answers, unfiltered and mercifully short. No chapter takes longer than five minutes, which makes it the book readers describe as “the one by the bed, the one in the guest room, the one I keep stealing back.”
What's inside
- The $100 club: the small purchases — timers, notebooks, door wedges — mentors swear by.
- Billboard wisdom: one-line advice from people who earned the right to be brief.
- Requests they love: how to ask busy people for help — answered by the busy people themselves.
- Letters to the young: what each mentor would tell their twenty-five-year-old self.
Who it's for
Graduates, career-switchers, new parents, and anyone starting a second chapter. It is also the most-gifted book Elias has written — buy two; you will not keep both.
