Student Deal of the Day - The Power of Focus for College Students

The Power of Focus for College Students: How to Make College the Best Investment of Your Life, by Les Hewitt , is today's (1/15/11) Kindle Student Deal of the Day. Normally selling for $9.99, it will be $1.99 for today only. This one says it's for high school seniors thru college, but it looks like one that all high school kids could get something out of (and they'll be seniors eventually, right) and would even be of benefit to anyone that hasn't figured out what they want to be when they grow up (and is several dollars less than the ones geared towards women, business people and Christians, although each of those has different co-authors).
