From the professors who teach NYU's most popular elective class, "Science of Happiness," a fun, comprehensive guide to surviving and thriving in college and beyond.
Every year, almost 4,000,000 students begin their freshman year at colleges and universities nationwide. Most of them will sleep less and stress out a whole lot more. By the end of the year, 30% of those freshmen will have dropped out. For many, the unforeseen demands of college life are so overwhelming that "the best four years of your life" can start to feel like the worst.
Enter Daniel Lerner and Dr. Alan Schlechter, ready to teach students how to not only survive college, but flourish in it. Filled with fascinating science, real-life stories, and tips for building positive lifelong habits, U Thrive addresses the opportunities and challenges every undergrad will face — from finding a passion to dealing with nightmarish roommates and surviving finals week. Engaging and hilarious, U Thrive will help students grow into the happy, successful alums they all deserve to be.

      This wordy but helpful work by performance coach Lerner and psychiatrist Schlechter, both professors at New York University (NYU), focuses on thriving, changing, staying healthy, and excelling in college and later in life, with an emphasis on mental wellness. The authors organized scientific-based pearls of wisdom and active learning exercises from their NYU Science of Happiness course. Highlights include sections on establishing relationships and connections; identifying strengths that lead to higher levels of engagement; understanding mind-sets; dealing with adversity; and developing healthy eating, sleeping, and exercise habits. This content might be better digested or paced in a first-year experience course as opposed to being devoured cover to cover by students on their own. Features include takeaway tips at the conclusion of each chapter and an index (not seen). This book would make a practical high school graduation gift for college-bound readers or college sophomores. VERDICT Recommended for collections that focus on college readiness or first-year coursework and for individuals interested in preparing for university.--Elizabeth Connor, Daniel Lib., The Citadel, Military Coll. of South Carolina, Charleston
