5.0 out of 5 stars A Necessity for anyone considering higher education, June 26, 2007
By Russell Jones (Rockaway, NJ, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy A Copy for Every Student You Love!, May 12, 2007
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
