Psychology of Success defines the fundamental psychology principles of success--principles applicable to everyone regardless of age, major, background or specialty. Unlike many books, Psychology of Success doesn't take a one-size-fits-all approach; rather it asks students to take an active role in defining what is right for them as an individual. It calls on students to use self-awareness and critical thinking to examine their dreams, values, interests, skills, needs, identities, self-esteem, and relationships and to set and achieve goals based on their personal vision of success. It introduces key concepts of psychology and offers creative exercises designed to help students understand these concepts and apply them to their lives. A workbook as well as a textbook, Psychology of Success offers simple yet effective strategies for self-improvement.
