Chapter by chapter, the book goes over the various aspects of a college student's academic, personal, and work life.

The book details each harmful choice that could be made procrastination, truancy, poor studying skills and what causes the student to make these seemingly idiotic choices. By exploring the motivations behind the negative choices, the book allows the student to understand why they are made and then teaches the corrective behavior accordingly.

The book is also divided into a number of "Journal Entries" that the students are meant to make. These Journal Entries allow the student to delve deep into their own psyche and develop a better understanding of themselves.

The main points of each chapter are inherent in the Journal entries, and doing the entries allows the student a chance to explore their own motivations, thought processes, emotional intelligence, etc. The book encourages you to delve deeper into yourself and through that, to become a better person.

Although these things can be said about any self-help book, I feel that this one truly made a difference. I came out of this book understanding much better how I think the way I do and why. Beyond this, I came out of this book with the tools needed to make the right choices. Am I a perfect student now? No, in fact I am very behind in my work right now. Do I understand why I am behind now? Do I understand how to get ahead? Yes, and I truly believe myself capable of it now.

I think that is the real blessing that this book has given me. A self-assessment at the beginning of the text helps you identify behaviors and beliefs you may wish to change in order to achieve more of your potential in college and in life.

Through short articles and distinctive guided journal entries, the author encourages you to explore and develop eight keys to your success: personal responsibility, self-motivation, self-management, interdependence, self-awareness, lifelong learning, emotional intelligence, and self-esteem. As you develop these skills, you'll find yourself making more effective choices and achieving greater success.
