Summary
Details

""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.
