This book was fantastic! I gave it four stars instead of five because of the cheesiness of the little stories at the beginning of each chapter. But overall, the book was great. The tips were amazing and very useful, and I will definitely be applying them to my studies in school. Thank you, Dr. Gordon!
Would've liked to read the college-age edition but this had some good tips and was a quick easy read. Docked a couple stars for cheesiness but definitely wish I had read this when I was younger.
