If This Isn't Nice, What Is?: Advice for the Young by Kurt Vinnegut

I'm not a fan of advise books. I tend to find them preachy and annoying, but this was different. A collection of speeches that Kurt Vonnegut gave to graduating students, filled with personal stories, encouragement and advise. If you like his writing, and to be honest it takes a certain type or reader, then this might be up your ally. It's realistic, not giving false promises of greatness or cheesy and corny sayings, but encouraging words on family and not giving up. I personally would recommend getting this on audiobook to listen to on the way to and from work, it's what I did.
