***Literary Titan Gold Award Winner***
The coach's guide to beating the Freshman Fifteen， Sophomore Slump， crippling anxiety， and your worst hangover！ Learn to take care of yourself， and de-stress throughout your undergrad years and beyond。
Every fall， around eight million young adults crash into college fired up for the best four years of their lives， ready to experience campus life， take classes about things they’re interested in， and meet people from all over the world。 Most students， however， are better prepared to pick their major or talk to strangers than they are to take care of themselves in the college setting。 College students today are more depressed， anxious， and stressed than previous waves of students; they’re also more sedentary， not really exercising， and living in a meal-plan limbo supplemented with ramen and coffee。
In this comprehensive field guild， high school coaches Jill and Dave Henry break down the facts and deliver doable， no-BS strategies for managing physical and mental health on campus。 In addition to helpful， interactive graphics， the coaches share their relatable true stories—ranging from the ridiculous to the serious—to discuss the five biggest health obstacles students face in college。 On top of research-backed tips， The Greatest College Health Guide You Never Knew You Needed also features raw and personal advice from current students on college campuses across the country。
While simply figuring out what to eat and how to exercise can be completely overwhelming， this guide goes beyond a basic crash course on how to be healthy。 Jill and Dave cover everything from crucial time-management skills to the complex sensitivity of self-doubt， sexual assault， and depression with humor， humility， and heart。 The Greatest College Health Guide You Never Knew You Needed is a complete road map for how to take care of your mind and body that will not only set students up to crush the next four years， but will also provide a foundation they can carry with them for the rest of their lives。

Boy， do I wish there was a book like this when I went to college！The authors are authentic and funny。 They tackle tough topics and provide practical ways for college students （or anyone going out on their own for the first time） to stay healthy and safe。It makes a great high school graduation gift！ I plan to give this to every graduating high school senior I know！

I honestly wish I had this book when I started college， because it discusses all the topics I was too afraid to ask my friends， family， and even at orientation。 Jill and Dave put a good amount of humor and honesty into their personal stories and anecdotes which makes reading about healthy eating， drinking responsibly， and managing stress way more digestible。 They feel less like scolding parents and more like the fun aunt and uncle that sneak you a beer when your parents are too strict。 As a visu I honestly wish I had this book when I started college， because it discusses all the topics I was too afraid to ask my friends， family， and even at orientation。 Jill and Dave put a good amount of humor and honesty into their personal stories and anecdotes which makes reading about healthy eating， drinking responsibly， and managing stress way more digestible。 They feel less like scolding parents and more like the fun aunt and uncle that sneak you a beer when your parents are too strict。 As a visual learner， the diagrams and pictures really helped me understand why a full sleep is important， what causes the feelings of stress and anxiety， and what a full drink actually looks like。 A lot of the hard work is even done for you: workout plans， recipes， and sleep schedule， which is usually the hardest step for me。 I also appreciate the understanding and kindness they extend to sensitive topics， like how to approach friends or yourself about mental health， sexual assault， and alcoholism。 Even though this book is called the greatest COLLEGE health guide， I'll definitely be taking it with me beyond graduation and into navigating fresh adult life。。。 until they come out with a guide for that too。 。。。more

College is the first place a lot of us encounter having to make choices that affect our health and well-being， but it’s certainly not the last。 In The Greatest College Health Guide You Never Knew You Needed， Coaches Jill and Dave Henry make a real and relatable case for learning how to take care of yourself。 Whether you （or your kid） is off to college for the first time， already there， or even out of school already， this book is a great gift。 The practical information， suggestions and strategies College is the first place a lot of us encounter having to make choices that affect our health and well-being， but it’s certainly not the last。 In The Greatest College Health Guide You Never Knew You Needed， Coaches Jill and Dave Henry make a real and relatable case for learning how to take care of yourself。 Whether you （or your kid） is off to college for the first time， already there， or even out of school already， this book is a great gift。 The practical information， suggestions and strategies about eating， exercise， sleep and stress management are all super helpful， and the chapter on booze is excellent， even for kids who don’t anticipate hard partying。Better still， instead of just telling you what to do and not do， this book provides you with the material and templates for building your own life-hack tool-kit。 It teaches you how to learn from your experiences， and how to let the way your body feels be your guide。 Coaches Jill and Dave are candid about their own struggles and successes。 They remind you to be kind to yourself and their practical advice on how to reset and start again when you get off track is invaluable。My kids are older now （one in， one out of college）， but I’m definitely going to get them this book。 There’s nothing like having trustworthy adults （who’re not your parents） who remember the challenges of young adulthood and are able to share what they learned – through personal experience as well as research – about how to handle those challenges。 Laced with humor， salty language， love and tenderness， this book is like having a great coach: the one who knows how to get you to push yourself in a constructive way， and is willing to give you as many chances as it takes to be your best self。 。。。more

Not only did this book make me laugh， but it is a treasure trove of useful and applicable health and wellness information。 This is something that every college student should have access to read when they head off on their own for the first time！ I really enjoy reading personal development， self-help， and wellness books and this was one of the fastest， most informative， and enjoyable reads in a long time。 Certainly not just for college students， but full of real， raw， and teachable moments。 The Not only did this book make me laugh， but it is a treasure trove of useful and applicable health and wellness information。 This is something that every college student should have access to read when they head off on their own for the first time！ I really enjoy reading personal development， self-help， and wellness books and this was one of the fastest， most informative， and enjoyable reads in a long time。 Certainly not just for college students， but full of real， raw， and teachable moments。 The authors tell it like it is while not being preachy。 We all want to be our best selfs and take care of our bodies。 They don't sugar coat things， but also write about making healthy choices in such a way that it seems completely doable for even the most clueless college student。 Would highly recommend this book to anyone （especially students！） who are looking for guidance on how to take better care of their health and fitness！ 。。。more

The Greatest College Health Guide by authors Jill and Dave Henry is a resourceful health guide that will help readers maintain their physical and mental health during their college years。 When students enter college life it becomes easy to lose yourself in your studies， and the parties， and forget about your health。 With a crazy study schedule， long nights， early morning， fraternities， parties， and a poor lifestyle how can you make health a priority？ This book breaks through all those barriers b The Greatest College Health Guide by authors Jill and Dave Henry is a resourceful health guide that will help readers maintain their physical and mental health during their college years。 When students enter college life it becomes easy to lose yourself in your studies， and the parties， and forget about your health。 With a crazy study schedule， long nights， early morning， fraternities， parties， and a poor lifestyle how can you make health a priority？ This book breaks through all those barriers by providing simple but effective information and tips to help you stay happy and healthy。 This guide to health will provide readers with healthy habits that will help them in college， and as adults。 Authors Jill and Dave Henry wrote this book to build health-awareness that students lose after awhile。 A lot of the bad habits that are mentioned in this book are some that I myself have grown accustomed to during my time in college。 These tips are helpful because they can eliminate a lot of stress that you have or will experience in college。 The tone of this book is casual but is still perfect for someone to easily understand and take seriously。I dove deep into the chapter about stress because I didn’t nurture my mental health until later on in my life。 If I read a book like this during my time in school， I’m sure I would’ve saved myself from numerous panic attacks。 Using healthy mental health practices is extremely important no matter what stage you are in your life。 This chapter featured candid personal stories as well as handy stress management tips。 These tips are useful because they’re simple and effective， perfect for the on-the-go student。 This health guide also touches on the effect that relationships have on a student’s mental health。 From friendships to sexual relationships， this chapter explains why evaluating relationships are important。 A lot of relationships that we’ve treasured in the past become meaningless in the future because we can only see people for who they are when we are no longer in a relationship with them。 The authors write about relationships in a way that feels insightful yet conversational。The Greatest College Health Guide delivers sagely advice with a bit of humor and lots of facts。 This is a very handy guide that will ensure you live a happier and healthier life。 Download it on your Kindle， keep it handy， and reference it often。 。。。more

As a mom who did the best to get both her kids off to college with the tools to be successful， I think every mom and dad out there should read this book （and buy one for your kids to take along with them）。These coaches have done their research！ The book is written so that it's an easy and fun read， but also covers some very serious topics。 I laughed and I loved the examples and advice they give。 This is a great tool to help us as parents and also our kids and they gear up for a successful colleg As a mom who did the best to get both her kids off to college with the tools to be successful， I think every mom and dad out there should read this book （and buy one for your kids to take along with them）。These coaches have done their research！ The book is written so that it's an easy and fun read， but also covers some very serious topics。 I laughed and I loved the examples and advice they give。 This is a great tool to help us as parents and also our kids and they gear up for a successful college career and life。 （Tips in there I'm using now and wish I'd had when I was in school）！Great graduation gift， or for kids heading back to college or grad school。 。。。more

I wish that I'd had this book when I went off to college！ As a former high school athlete， when I went to college I was very worried about what how bad eating habits， lack of sleep， alcohol consumption and stress would effect me physically and mentally。 I wish that I had had a resource like this book to help me make healthier choices。 The Greatest College Health Guide You Never Knew You Needed isn't your typical self-help book。 Jill and Dave Henry's no-BS advice on sensitive topics is beneficial I wish that I'd had this book when I went off to college！ As a former high school athlete， when I went to college I was very worried about what how bad eating habits， lack of sleep， alcohol consumption and stress would effect me physically and mentally。 I wish that I had had a resource like this book to help me make healthier choices。 The Greatest College Health Guide You Never Knew You Needed isn't your typical self-help book。 Jill and Dave Henry's no-BS advice on sensitive topics is beneficially for young adults and parents - anyone who wants to educate themselves on how to stay healthy in college！ 。。。more
