“The Great Commission commands us to make Disciples, not Converts. In the Christian context a Disciple is most commonly referred to as a follower of Jesus. In its most literal context a disciple is a ‘learner.’ In either case we’re not talking about an event, but rather a process or lifestyle. Sally’s story and stories of life garnered experience are both wisdom and practical next steps for the serious disciple. A Student of Life is a Discipleship Primer that will both inspire, instruct, and enlighten the reader as they establish their own life story.” Pastor Steven S. Harman, Th.D.

Higher education is a high stakes process involving engagement with curricula and often entails coping with the onslaught of assessments and examinations. This process creates a level of intensity that impacts on the student experience in higher education. It is, therefore, important to consider not only the motivational aspects of learning but also quality of life issues, as they have profound effects on students. Quality of life affects the way students interact with their formal education, and has wide-reaching effects on future careers and their ability to coordinate everyday events. Integrating these two concepts, student motivation and quality of life, brings together the explicit elements that underpin learning in the higher education context, creating links between the affective and social aspects of the student life. This synthesis is integral to improving student retention and quality of life and has important ramifications for educationalists, administrators, pastoral care and academic support service personnel, and students themselves. Some highlights of the book include: Applied Positive Psychology in Higher Education Internationalisation and Quality of Life: A Taiwanese Perspective The Computer Assisted Learning for the Mind (CALM) Website: Teaching Skills to Increase Resilience The Oxford University Peer Support Programme: Addressing the Wellbeing of Students Higher Education and Student Stress: Reclaiming Light, Liberty and Learning Improving academic quality of life through attribution- and motivation-focused counselling

The eviscerating manifesto that made the Situationist International a household name around the world! In 1966, prior to Guy Debord's Society of the Spectacle led millions to question their daily activities and existence, the Situationist International was an unknown revolutionary art organization. The classic French situationist text by students in Strasbourg, Germany that powerfully critiqued society and exploded minds in 1967. It will no doubt hold as much relevance today and have the same affect on you. On the Poverty of Student Life sparked the infamous occupation of universities in Paris in 1968 with its critical dogma, "In the world of the student, every type of social practice is controlled to the utmost degree. Shifting the entire guilty conscience about society onto students serves to mask everyone's poverty and servitude." As a text approaching 50 years old, it is, at times, powerfully illuminating, and at others extremely frustrating. At its core, the bold claims are that the academy should not be a factory into the workforce.
