Here's a book not just for college students but for everyone. It has a mix of inspirational quotes, tips on all facets of college life and references to other helpful books and websites.
I definitely wish I had this book during my college days!

As a parent Dr. Gilbert's book did 2 things for me. I received a great education on how to wisely guide my children. AND I can use the book as an 'authority' when giving my college bound kids some key insights on how to succeed to the highest degree. This compilation of gems is truly an 'instant' classic.

Like his amazing success hotline (973) 743-4690, Dr. Gilbert fills HOW TO HAVE FUN WITHOUT FAILING OUT with wit, wisdom and everyday advice that simplifies and celebrates a young adult's greatest life experience. With his insight and experience, this gifted speaker, storyteller and student motivator has made a difference in the academic lives of my students, nephews and my dean's list daughter. Before you spend your first dollar on textbooks, technology or take-out food, invest in this scholar's survival guide. It's the inside story and the road map for all who enter the laborious, enlightening halls of learning. --Linda Maxwell, teacher, mother, writer

This is a great piece of motivational material. Dr. Gilbert was my Freshman Seminar teacher in 1995, and I always love his advice.

Wish I had this information when I was in college. I will be passing this wisdom on to my kids as they prepare to continue their education. I loved the quotes in the book and got a lot out of it myself. Fantastic read, thank you Dr Gilbert!

He is my professor now at Montclair State University. I haven't read this book yet but after all the reviews I will be receiving me in the mail soon.

How to Have Fun... is a great guide for college students who aspire to be successful. As a college professor, I am disheartened by the fact that I see students make the same mistakes semester after semester. So many students who could be successful are not; this book would help eliminate 99% of the problems that I see.

Dr. Gilbert is a talented writer and the pages turn quite easily. It is obvious that he has "been there" as a professor and has seen what makes students succeed (and fail). I highly recommend this book. One word of warning, however: Gilbert's method requires that students make an effort. All too often, students fail because they simply don't want to put in the time.

I wish I had this book when I was in school. Dr. Rob Gilbert is one of the world's top authorities on peak performance. The tips inside are invaluable...I highly recommend this book. Great quotes!
