Why I wrote this book

Stress and anxiety in college students is a serious, often overlooked, problem.

College students must navigate a new environment while meeting new people and attempting to expand their horizons. They do this while trying to balance an intimidating and challenging academic schedule.

Fear of uncertainty will rise and may become overwhelming for the typical college student. Is it even possible to do it all? Most think they must make sacrifices or to work as hard as possible until the inevitable burnout and failure.

There is a better way to do all that college has to offer by working smarter, not harder.

College should be a fun and enlightening experience.

This book presents methods to improve mindset and shares ideas to set one up for success to help overcome fear, stress, and doubt. Also, it provides a 5-step process to save time and simplify studying that will improve retention and reduce studying time so college students can spend more time out of the textbooks.
