Your Expanding Intelligence

Most texts for Freshman Experience or Student Success courses focus on personal management skills and are prescriptive “how-to” narratives on note-taking, time management, and researching. Or they are career development oriented -- focusing on choosing the right major, balancing your social life, and personal wellness.

Your Expanding Intelligence wants nothing to do with “how-to” or prescriptive self management tools. This ground-breaking workbook advocates that this type of approach is exactly what is crippling young minds because they are continually looking for short cuts so they can cross another academic achievement off their checklist. As an alternative, Your Expanding Intelligence is dedicated to teaching students how to unlock their potential, how to learn, and how to think.

Using metaphors, simplistic explanations, and muscle memory to describe these new ideas about human potential and intelligence, this workbook will guide students to realize that their thoughts, feelings and choices affect how they learn, think, and communicate.
