How to Win at College: Simple Rules for Success from Star Students by Cal Newport

3.75

outdated in some parts (ex. "attention from the opposite sex", talking with friends through email) but there's a lot of original advice I hadn't heard before. what I like about cal Newport is that his self help books are not overly philosophical and vague: they offer clear objectives and strategies you can implement immediately.
