        Students and the parents who love them will find useful, even life-saving advice in this valuable guide to staying mentally and physically healthy during college. Readers are in expert hands with Nosanow, a licensed psychologist who spent two decades as a mental health counselor at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota. She wisely gives specific details, noting that caffeine stays in the system for eight hours and that cannabis can cause a loss of motivation. In addition to good commonsense tips, she offers creative suggestions: Write a personal mission statement that might touch on a life's purpose, meaning, and goals and an "Imagine Your Life Highlights" that describes the student's ideal achievements for a life well-lived. Identify heroes. Smile. Be positive. (Instead of "I'm a loser," think, "I am kind and care about others.") Nosanow even covers breakups. Journal, but avoid just dumping bad thoughts. Remember gratitude. What caused a smile? Expect to learn about the power of small steps and persistence and to feel inspired to live a better life, regardless of age.
