A SHORT book about Excel® that entertains

There are literally hundreds of books on Excel® and the one thing they have in common is… well, everything. They mostly seem to be a plain collection of Excel tricks, differing only in how long or short the list is. Excelling in Life breaks the mould with its humorous writing style, colorful layout, real-life examples and sophisticated pedagogy behind the scenes. No other book covers, in just eight chapters, the profound philosophy of spreadsheet best practices and the key selection of topics most students and professionals truly need to start their romance with Excel®.

3 Successful with a diverse audience of Excel® first-timers and repeat offenders

Excelling in Life was written by a PhD-educated instructor who, in addition to his daytime role as science superhero, teaches university students how to master Excel®. Many of them have never worked with the program in their lives and, moreover, aren’t good at math. This book was specifically written and successfully proven to work for people from diverse educational backgrounds and career paths. Whether you’re a high school student or have already embarked upon your profession; whether you have a basic grasp of math or can solve differential equations in your head… Excelling in Life will empower your productivity and efficiency without the torture of having to crack open an algebra textbook.

4 Forget your fear of formulas

The concept of mathematical formulas is almost guaranteed to make the average person break out in a fear sweat. For that reason, many Excel® guides avoid this topic altogether and just focus on the “fun stuff” like creating charts. However, not being able to handle formulas in Excel® is like trying to drive a car without a steering wheel: you might get somewhere, but “somewhere” is likely a brick wall. Besides, formulas are MORE FUN than charts.

Excelling in Life completely demystifies Excel® functions and formulas, breaking them down into digestible parts of perfectly readable language you don’t need an I.Q. of 110 to understand. In fact, by the end of this short, step-by-step guide, you’ll be writing your own “complex” formulas from scratch, which will make you feel so clever —because you are.
