Book Review: Campus Calm University

I’m pleased to let everyone know that a useful book I’ve contributed to, Campus Calm University by Maria Pascucci, has just been published.  The book is part of a nationwide effort by innovative new organization Campus Calm to empower high school and college students to become stress resistant and confident leaders.

This generation of teens and twenty-somethings, known as the Millennials, is the most ambitious group of young people ever to walk the planet.  However, Millennials also feel a great deal of pressure to follow the prescribed path to success and happiness and map out every second of their lives in painstaking detail.  Those in high school and college are exhausted from stressing over every individual grade, test score, internship and résumé builder.  They imagine a life where they can focus on learning and prioritize fun and spontaneity while they’re still young.

 

Maria and her panel of experts (I’m the twenty-something career one) have developed a guidebook that we hope will help them do just that.  One of the best things about the book is that it teaches teens and twenty-somethings lessons about how to achieve life satisfaction that most people don’t learn until they’re at least 40 (I’m still working on some of them myself), including ditching your inner perfectionist, taking calculated risks, embracing your creativity, and surrounding yourself with positive influences.

 

Maria has generously offered WCW readers a free copy of her career search stress relief audio CD when you purchase your copy of Campus Calm University from her site.  When you add the book to your cart, enter “Levit” in the promotional/coupon code box.  Maria will also autograph the book for you!
