DOWNLOAD EBOOKABOUT THE BOOK The first 101 days of college, from a student's first class to their final exam, are a critical time and can mean the difference between success and failure. In this book, based on a talk I have given to over 15,000 students at 100 high schools, I share everything I have learned over the past 10 years as a college professor as to why some students succeed while others do not. Using short chapters, supporting illustrations, and an engaging writing style, students are given step-by-step instructions on how to approach their college experience, starting 30 days prior to their first semester. The book provides simple strategies on how students can get off to a strong start in college and persist to graduation within 4 years, avoiding having to pay for an extra semester or two, by developing proper planning, time management, and study skills, while giving encouragement, building confidence, and alleviating anxiety. The purpose of this book is to accelerate the personal and professional growth of college freshmen, giving readers the tools and training needed to succeed in college, preparing students to become confident leaders and high achievers on campus, and positioning them for career success upon graduation. By the end of this beautifully designed and professionally illustrated book, any anxiety about college will go away, and students will be excited about what is to come as they begin the next chapter of their lives.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPraise for Overloaded and Underprepared “Parents, teachers, and administrators are all concerned that America’s kids are stressed out, checked out, or both—but many have no idea where to begin when it comes to solving the problem. That’s why the work of Challenge Success is so urgent. It has created a model for creating change in our schools that is based on research and solid foundational principles like communication, creativity, and compassion. If your community wants to build better schools and a brighter future, this book is the place to start.” —Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive and A Whole New Mind “Challenge Success synthesizes the research on effective school practices and offers concrete tools and strategies that educators and parents can use immediately to make a difference in their communities. By focusing on the day-to-day necessities of a healthy schedule; an engaging, personalized, and rigorous curriculum; and a caring climate, this book is an invaluable resource for school leaders, teachers, parents, and students to help them design learning communities where every student feels a sense of belonging, purpose, and motivation to learn the skills necessary to succeed now and in the future.” —Linda Darling-Hammond, Charles E. Ducommun Professor of Education, Stanford University “Finally, a book about education and student well-being that is both research-based and eminently readable. With all the worry about student stress and academic engagement, Pope, Brown and Miles gently remind us that there is much we already know about how to create better schools and healthier kids. Citing evidence-based ‘best practices’ gleaned from years of work with schools across the country, they show us what is not working, but more importantly, what we need to do to fix things. Filled with practical suggestions and exercises that can be implemented easily, as well as advice on how to approach long-term change, Overloaded and Underprepared is a clear and compelling roadmap for teachers, school administrators and parents who believe that we owe our children a better education.” —Madeline Levine, co-founder Challenge Success; author of The Price of Privilege and Teach Your Children Well “This new book from the leaders behind Challenge Success provides a thorough and balanced exploration of the structural challenges facing students, parents, educators, and administrators in our primary and secondary schools today. The authors’ unique approach of sharing proven strategies that enable students to thrive, while recognizing that the most effective solutions are tailored on a school-by-school basis, makes for a valuable handbook for anyone seeking to better understand the many complex dimensions at work in a successful learning environment.” —John J. DeGioia, President of Georgetown University

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe interviews found in this book are conducted by David Wright, President of ISN Works and Insight Publishing. Achieving success is serious business, or so it would seem. So many people are striving for this nebulous concept known as ¿success.¿ I¿ve asked many people what their definition of success is and I¿ve heard different answers from just about all of them. Some people appear successful and on the surface it seems that they should be very happy about what they¿ve accomplished. But often they are not. Their lives have become so complicated that they feel harried and on a treadmill of endless things to do to keep their hard-won success. Can¿t success be simple? I wondered if anyone else had ever thought about this, so I searched for speakers and authors who would give me some answers. In this book, Success Simplified, the successful businesspeople I found gave several different answers to my question. The answers were very insightful, in my opinion. I think they will give you a new perspective on success and how to make it simple.
