Compass Principle: Empower Yourself with the Potential to Complete College

"The more we research in positive psychology, the more we realize how interconnected we are. Every tiny move you make toward a more positive mindset can send ripples of positive change through organizations, families and communities creating a virtuous cycle where it becomes easier for you to continue to choose happiness. In The Compass Principle, Dr. Hayek has taken the study of the ripple effect into one of the most needed areas-- higher education--with the aim to help students overcome mental barriers, to find practical ways to believe their behavior matters, and to create and sustain a positive ripple effect in their lives." Shawn Achor, NYTimes bestselling author of Big Potential and The Happiness Advantage "There is a strong need for this book. There are roughly 35 million people with some college but no award and more than twelve million have at least two years of college." Dr. Anthony Carnevale, Director of the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce
