Overview

The Elements of Academic Success is the most powerful academic self-help book published in the United States in recent years. It was inspired by The Elements of Style, the legendary book by Professor William Strunk, Jr. and E. B. White, and it is formatted the same way, for speed and ease of use. There are 351 numbered topic sections in 10 chapters that cover everything a student will face in college. All 351 are in an index in the back for fast viewing. The things a student needs will jump out at him/her. I am not Albert Einstein, writes author Gene Kizer, Jr. but I consistently made 'A's at one of the finest liberal arts colleges in the country, the College of Charleston, in Charleston, SC. I was ON FIRE to graduate magna cum laude and I was going to succeed or die. Says Kizer: I developed HIGHLY EFFECTIVE skills and techniques that helped me make A s in nearly everything, but my attitude was KEY. Attitude is the only thing in life a person has total control over. Your attitude will bring you success and happiness, or bring you misery. Readers of this book will absorb my proven techniques and aggressive NOT-GOING-TO-BE-DENIED attitude. That attitude will help them excel in college, and in life.
