Inhaltsangabe

"Education is not the learning of facts but the training of the mind to think." -Albert Einstein At its best, the college experience can be invaluable for doing the most important work of all-finding your purpose. At its worst, it can be an expensive distraction that indoctrinates you into an instant-gratification culture and prevents you from building a meaningful base not just for your career but for your life. Drawing upon the great thinkers of contemporary philosophy, psychology, and science, this book reveals a revolutionary way to prepare for navigating the complexities and potential pitfalls of college, including: How to look past the limited view of gifted but specialized academics How to select courses that will help you get interviews with potential employers How to develop a meaningful social and professional network, including outside the college community How to take full advantage of college facilities and programs-including some you may not even be aware of Robert Pirsig's classic book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance used metaphysical imagery to reveal a more holistic way to think about the world and our place in it. In that tradition, Zen and the Art of Navigating College is a first-of-its-kind handbook for being prepared to get what you really NEED from the college experience-a path to discovering a greater purpose and the tools to achieve it.
