If you are starting college or know someone who is, this concise and powerful book will provide the tools every freshman needs. 

Success in the first year of college means more than a high GPA. To be truly successful in college and beyond requires emotional intelligence. 

Average 2 Awesome will guide readers through the four components of emotional intelligence. Learn how to become more self-aware and how to control your emotions. Then discover the importance of empathy and how to increase that valuable "soft skill." Finally, find out what it takes to become a leader.
