Resumen del Editor

This book was planted with the seeds of inspiration and grew by virtue of research and creativity. The inspiration was the notion that street smarts plays a tremendous role in everything from survival to success in every walk of life. Next, we identified the characteristics of street smart people and set out to find corroboration for our theory. The research was comprised of interviews with people whom we believed were street smart. They ranged from CEO's, business owners, and management consultants to university professors, actors, political activists, and undercover cops. Our interviews always began with the question: "What do you think are the characteristics of street smart people?" Without fail, our interviewees identified the same traits again and again. We were thrilled, flattered, and convinced we had distilled street smarts down to its essence. Each interviewee had a unique way of fleshing out some or most of the characteristics of street smarts. Their stories were fascinating and many were incorporated into this book. The creativity came later in our choice of a style in which to tell our story. We chose an allegory because we hoped it would be more entertaining and memorable.
