I have always been a preacher of study smart not hard and this book is all about that. It not only explains the importance of more efficient ways to study but tells you how to be more efficient in a step-by-step manner. As the author states at the beginning of the book; it is not meant to teach you how to turn your life in a day. You give or take, not all of these steps will work for everyone. Try a couple, make them part of your routine, read the book again and try a few more, adapt them to your necessities and situation and get awesome grades.5 reasons to get this books:- Smash bros. references- It teaches you how to get more time to sleep- Goat jokes!- Even if you have seen every video or read every post on College Info Geek there are things in here that you won't find there- it is something that you do by yourself and not with a group because group projects suck!
This is filled with useful information. I'm a huge Thomas Frank fan, I follow his blog and YouTube channel, and of course, read this book. I really like how all of his content is backed up by research, you can really notice all of the thoroughness and thought he puts into his work. I'm a college student and his methods have helped me a lot, this is a must for any student.
I love all of Thomas Frank's stuff. I've followed his blog for a few years, and the culmination of all his wisdom into this little paperback book is fantastic! Even after graduation, I still find the tips in this book useful for the real world... it's chock full of productivity techniques that are essential not only for high school and college, but also for the real world. I can't praise this book (and the rest of Thomas' work) enough. You gotta buy it to believe it!
I really enjoyed this book. I separated from the Navy in 2013 and started college a year later. I have always done well in school and I have a tremendous amount of self-discipline. However, college is a completely different kind of animal. Thomas does a great job of explain things in a relatable manner without being condescending. I believe his advice would be useful for anyone who is trying to be successful not just those in college.
oh my god what can I even begin to say about this book!As an IB student, I was under a lot of pressure and well...I was beginning to burn out.This book is real man. 100% useful information, no "blabber fill" whatsoever, which for a person under time constraints such as myself, is extremely useful.Most definitely do recommend that every student reads this book, heck, every one should read this book.It will not only help you as a student but help you with organizing your entire life as well!Well written señior Thomas! Hope to meet you one day man!
Got it for my family, got it for my students. The last thing people who are overwhelmed with time management issues surrounding their schoolwork need is a lengthy book telling them how to solve their problem. This books is accessible, fun, smart and quick to read (or just read the parts dealing with your struggle until you gain more time to read it all). His suggestions make sense, but are often just the thing you haven't tried. Well done.
If ever you find yourself being eager to pull your stuff together and don't feel like reading tedious or complicated tombs on self-discipline, check this out! It's informal, informative and most of all written by someone who's really been through these things (at least that's what he's making us believe and I'm not going to lie, I'm convinced). Overall, a great helper in many ways, although the motivation can only nbe supplied yourself.Plus, what other book has a hashtag #shotsfired?
This book isn't only a "good read" - especially for advice which often reads dry and overly wordy - it's also very practical and easy to comprehend and apply. It's helpful for both students who are just starting out and people like me who already have some study experience but like to make their way through college easier and more successful.
