Special Features that Help Students Organize Their Action Plan

The book begins with a hard-hitting, very personal Foreword by the author on why students must read this book if they want to succeed in college.

It's a bold message for brand new college students, returning veterans going back to school, single parents, athletes, those struggling with learning disabilities or substance abuse, and even elite students fighting for the top 5 per cent of their graduating class.

First, Tim explains his vision. Then he suggests how to use the book for maximum effectiveness.

Tim sets the stage at the beginning of each chapter with a famous quote summarizing its purpose. At the end of the chapter is a short Action Exercise to enable the student to internalize the strategy. This is reinforced with a list of the chapter's main points.
