"If you work with college students, this is certainly a book you need to pick up. I think it exemplifies the best of what I learned in the student affairs program. It reminds us of the details, and the issues that the students we work with day in and day out may be facing. It reminds us of the skill sets we could be using and learning to help those students. On top of that, it also reminds us to take care of ourselves, while giving us guiding principles and real-life applications. Plus, the eBook has a great price!"
