About this ebook
Don’t study harder—study smarter! A guide to academic success without unnecessary stress.
High school students are experiencing more pressure and stress than ever—and that can actually undermine their accomplishments. How can parents and teachers help them succeed not just in school, but in life? As someone with experience as both a university professor and a mom, Carolyn Zhao knows that the answer isn’t just to stay up later and study harder. It is possible—and important—to have fun and get A’s.
Sharing her method that transformed her own son from a struggling high school student into an Ivy League freshman, Zhao explains that a quality education is not just about achieving high marks, but becoming a well-rounded individual—and top universities and employers are actively seeking such students right now. She reveals:
Why developing your “Emotional Quotient” (EQ) is just as important as IQ
How to combine intellectual learning with hands-on practice for best retention
How to study less and achieve more
Why playing sports is crucial for mind, body, and character
How having fun develops our creative mind and highest potential
How to develop a lifelong service mindset, and more
