Although this book is ten years old, it contains valuable insights about how a high schooler can be accepted into "reach" colleges without overloading one's schedule with AP courses and extracurricular activites. With examples from real students' lives, Mr. Newport demonstrates that high schoolers can be admitted into top-notch universities and still enjoy their high school years. He offers numerous explanations and analogies to support his findings.
He shares three basic laws-The Law of Underscheduling, The Law of Focus, and The Law of Innovation. After he explains the laws, he offers a "playbook" section where he offers practical ways to implement the laws.
Very easy to read and understand. A must read for all high school students!
*Highly recommend.
