REACHING YOUR POTENTIAL takes a holistic approach to helping students take control of their lives and improve their self-belief. The text is organized around the four areas of emotional, intellectual, physical and social potentials. Through a process of learning and self-examination, students discover their values, increase their commitment to personal goals, and challenge themselves to grow and learn. While gaining practical knowledge and skills, students will discover their emotional, intellectual, physical, and social resources. This model, which is thematically integrated throughout the text, allows readers to emerge from their learning experience understanding the importance of developing each of these areas in order to reach their fullest potential. The text involves readers in active learning with self-assessments, activities that apply concepts to their own lives, questions that test comprehension, and case studies to foster critical-thinking skills.

Industry Reviews

?Excellent features in the To the Lifelong Learner and Self-Assessment sections. To the Lifelong Learner is useful as an overview of the authors? philosophy. The pre and post Self-Assessments help both instructors and students understand what needs to be emphasized in the course and how well both have succeeded.? - Robert C. Noyes, Tidewater Community College
?I really enjoyed reading this book?It did not feel preachy to me, but more conversational and the self-chapter coming up front drew me in and made me feel like everything from there out was about me getting engaged and learning what I would need to learn to get where I want to go.? - Liese A. Hull, University of Michigan - Ann Arbor
?The authors use plenty of examples to keep things interesting for students and open up discussion. In an orientation class the one thing that makes the class successful is student involvement. The use of this text would easily facilitate this.? - Jan Pitera, Broome Community College
