Excellent first-year college resource, esp for those with undeveloped study skills or little formal academic experience. Uses Myers-Briggs and Multiple Intelligences theory to help students identify and manage their particular learning style while meeting academic demands.

My copy was pretty beaten up from the library but worked none the less. Had a few modern quotes from artist Bono and Eleanor Rosevelt paired with photos. Lots of colour and charts for studying. Great chapter for math work. Early high school to early college readers would find this helpful.
