College is challenging, but with the right skills, attitudes, and techniques, you can do well in college. How do you not only succeed in college but prosper? If your goal requires graduate or professional school, you have to do extremely well in college to be competitive; so, how do you compete? Besides good grades, what factors will make you stand out from the hundreds of other applicants? How do you build the skills and attitudes that will help you to succeed in extremely competitive academic and professional environments? This book answers all these questions and more. College is a major life transition, and how well one does in college will have a huge impact on one's career success. This book is geared to serious college students who anticipate that their career choices will involve advanced education. It focuses on strategies that will improve performance in college and will build the kind of resume that will make students more competitive for graduate or professional school. The strategies will also make college students more competitive in the job market. Many students who could be more competitive are not because, by the time they learn how, it is too late to build the resume that they need. With the right information, students can make better decisions that will make them stand out from other students. Dr. Raulin has taught both undergraduate and graduate students for over 35 years.

Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed by anxiety, unable to control it? Does it make you feel weak and helpless? You do not have to feel that way. Anxiety is not the enemy, it can be managed and when it is managed, it can be a valuable resource. Anxiety is a fact of life, but admittedly, it can be an unpleasant fact. Its unpleasantness and the fact that it can feel uncontrollable is why many people view it as their enemy, something to eliminate. That view is short-sighted because anxiety is one of our most valued assets. It signals that there is a potential for risk and at the same time motivates actions that reduce those risks. Without it, we would be far less successful. But as you know, it can get out of control, and when it does, it affects our ability to function and makes us feel powerless. Anxiety can be managed, and this book will tell you how. Managing anxiety minimizes its negative effects without decreasing its positive value. You will learn what anxiety is, how it functions, its role in our daily lives, and several approaches to managing it. The book also covers anxiety disorders and their treatment. The author, Dr. Raulin, has specialized in the treatment of anxiety and its disorders for more than 20 years. He started and ran an Anxiety Disorders Clinic, providing diagnosis and treatment of anxiety disorders and training graduate students to provide such services. He has authored several books and more than 50 research articles and chapters, mostly on psychological disorders. He has also won numerous awards for teaching, service, and professional achievement.
