Levit is the author of several career guides, including Success for Hire, They Don’t Teach Corporate in College, and How’d You Score that Gig?. Her blog Water Cooler Wisdom offers all sorts of great career information. It’s truly an honor to have been rated so highly by such a formidable figure!

In our interview, he describes his notion of “lifelong learning” (which he says is a misnomer — “if learning isn’t life long, what is it?”) which makes up the subject of his new book.

I haven’t read it yet — and don’t know when I’ll get a chance to, with everything else going on right now — but knowing Scott and knowing his work, I feel pretty comfortable suggesting you go check it out. You can get a taste of it by downloading the Learn More , Study Less preview (pdf link), or by checking out the post Scott guest-posted at Zen Habits, How to Learn More and Study Less.

And if you’re going to be at Zen Habits anyway, it would probably be a good thing to pick up Leo Babauta’s excellent Zen to Done (which I’ve read — you can read my review at lifehack.org) and his new ebook, Zen Habits Handbook for Life, which I haven’t read. But this is Leo Babauta we’re talking about here, which means it’s virtually guaranteed to be better than anything else you’ve read this year.
