Every fall, millions of young adults crash into college fired up for the best four years of their lives, ready to experience campus life, take classes about things they’re interested in, and meet people from all over the world. Most students, however, are better prepared to pick their major or talk to strangers than they are to take care of themselves in the college setting. College students today are more depressed, anxious, and stressed than previous waves of students; they’re also more sedentary, not really exercising, and living in a meal-plan limbo supplemented with ramen and coffee. In this comprehensive field guild, high school coaches Jill and Dave Henry break down the facts and deliver doable, no-BS strategies for managing physical and mental health on campus. In addition to helpful, interactive graphics, the coaches share their relatable true stories—ranging from the ridiculous to the serious—to discuss the five biggest health obstacles students face in college. On top of research-backed tips, The Greatest College Health Guide You Never Knew You Needed also features raw and personal advice from current students on college campuses across the country. While simply figuring out what to eat and how to exercise can be completely overwhelming, this guide goes beyond a basic crash course on how to be healthy. Jill and Dave cover everything from crucial time-management skills to the complex sensitivity of self-doubt, sexual assault, and depression with humor, humility, and heart. The Greatest College Health Guide You Never Knew You Needed is a complete road map for how to take care of your mind and body that will not only set students up to crush the next four years, but will also provide a foundation they can carry with them for the rest of their lives.

Dennis Stemmle, is a college professor, bestselling author, parent of a college student, and founder of College Success Academy. As a college professor, he has seen the good, the bad, and the ugly, when it comes to student performance. I never knew how big our education problem was until my son struggled in his first year of college. As a top-performing high school student, he got into all his desired colleges, and we just never were worried about him performing well. However, his excitement from his college acceptances, the prospects of moving out of the house, and his embracing his independence, quickly led to frustration, stress, and surprise struggles. After his first semester, our straight-A high school student found himself on academic probation. That’s when I knew I had to figure out why millions of top high school seniors struggle to succeed in college. I spent months talking to students, looking for similarities, trends, and kernels of knowledge that could help me understand the challenges and issues faced by students transiting from high school to college. As a result, student success became my new mission. Inside the pages of this book, students will find a complete roadmap for making great grades, having more fun, and studying less! More Praise. "After giving this a read, I related with the "If you fall behind" chapter, I had hit a slump in the middle of my first semester and didn't know if or how I was going to catch up. I tried different techniques, and not much was helping, but I now realize how big it is to really talk and communicate with your professors; they want you to succeed as much as you want yourself to. I think that's a big take away from not only this book but in life." -Fred Payton, a student at Coastal Carolina University. "This book is a great guide for students that are considering going to college. Reading this made me want to continue my college education. College is extremely hard, and I did not have much guidance going into it. I am also the procrastinator, and honestly, that is the worst thing ever because I would turn in assignments right at the deadline." -Abria Brown, a student at Mary Baldwin University.
