The Power of Habit
As it turns out, habits shape much more of our behavior than we realize. The habits we do have largely determine the progress (either good or bad) we make in life.

How to Become a Straight-A Student
This book gives you an in-depth, well thought out method for pulling epic grades in all of your classes.

It lays out effective strategies for note-taking, quizzing yourself, writing papers, and more. If you want to be like one of the aforementioned students, get this book.
