About The Teenager's Guide to the Real World, Mr. Brain says:

"As I mention in the preface, I was a pretty miserable teenager. However, as I made my way through life I began to understand a lot of things that had been mysteries to me when I was a teenager. Then when I started my first business... You have to realize that I learned many things about the business world the hard way. I would learn certain lessons and think, 'WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME THIS WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER??!!' It really would have saved me a lot of time and effort--in fact, there are many things in my life and career that could have been accelerated by five or ten years--if someone had been able to explain things to me as a teenager. About four years ago I started writing notes for this book based on the idea of 'things I wish someone had explained to me when I was a teenager.' The book was written from those notes. I wrote the book to help other teenagers understand the adult world and become successful more quickly. It is the book I wish someone had handed me when I was 16."
