- “This text has proved to be exactly what our students need. We are a two-year Ag and Tech college in the SUNY system, and as such, we have many adults who are re-training after downsizing. I also incorporate information from Siebert’s The Survivor Personality in our discussions. No other textbook comes close to the practical needs of our students.”
- Kathy Sellars, Adult Students Services
State University of New York – Morrisville- “This is a practical book for helping students achieve a balance between their already existing life and the demands of attending college.”
- Earl J. Gintner, Ph.D.
Journal of College Student Development- “This book is phenomenal! I haven’t taken classes for years but I’m getting all my papers in on time, getting A’s in my courses, and still have time for everything else!”
