In letters to his daughter while she is away at college, John D. Lawry offers sage and sane advice on a wide range of topics--getting along with roommates, studying, reading, writing, and surfing the Internet--that will benefit any college student.
In this revised edition of his popular How to Succeed at School, Lawry also focuses on the emotional and spiritual life of a student, encouraging contemplation and prayer. But in the face of rapid learning and maturing, Lawry most hopes that students will always pay attention to the child within, and that they will "never stop dancing."
John D. Lawry is professor of psychology at Marymount College, Tarrytown, New York, and author of Guide to the History of Psychology and College 101: A Freshman Reader. He has one daughter, Lili.
