The 9 Things Every Graduate Should Know

In The 9 Things Every Graduate Should Know, bestselling author Brianna Wiest delivers a heartfelt and empowering guide for anyone standing at the edge of adulthood and asking, “What now?” With honesty, clarity, and compassion, Wiest’s speech—transcribed from the 2024 commencement given at Elizabethtown College—shares nine life-changing lessons on rejection, resilience, growth, and purpose, reminding us that the most meaningful life isn’t found by following a path, but by creating your own. This is the book every graduate—and every person in transition—needs to read.
