The college experience offers educational and social opportunities that can be incredibly rewarding for students. For many, however, college is a time of extreme anxiety and stress—but it doesn’t have to be.
In Pursuit of the Good Life: Strategies for Well-Being and Success in College digs into the challenges that most frequently plague students and provides practical guidance to overcome these difficulties and thrive. Turning on its head the idea that academic success leads to improved well-being, this book instead rests on the foundation that personal well-being is the pillar that supports all other success in college. Organized by key challenges facing students, each chapter explores the research and reasoning surrounding the issue being discussed and offers guidance and exercises to assist the student in navigating and even gaining from the challenge.
Covering such topics as anxiety, lack of motivation, group dynamics, and busyness vs productiveness, In Pursuit of the Good Life not only provides students with the skills to maximize the benefits of higher education, but to be happy, as well.
