These books may not be your typical beach read, but if you're looking for a few good educational books, I suggest you start with these three.
1. Where You Go Is Not Who You'll Be by Frank Bruni
2. Untangled: Guiding Teenage Girls Through the Seven Transitions Into Adulthood by Lisa Damour
3. There Is Life After College by Jeffrey J. Selingo
Don't fly through them; rather, let the ideas sink in and take root.
