“Education is not the learning of facts but the training of the mind to think.”—Albert Einstein
At its best, the college experience can be invaluable for doing the most important work of all—finding your purpose. At its worst, it can be an expensive distraction that indoctrinates you into an instant-gratification culture and prevents you from building a meaningful base not just for your career but for your life.
Drawing upon the great thinkers of contemporary philosophy, psychology, and science, this book reveals a revolutionary way to prepare for navigating the complexities and potential pitfalls of college, including:
- How to look past the limited view of gifted but specialized academics
- How to select courses that will help you get interviews with potential employers
- How to develop a meaningful social and professional network, including outside the college community
- How to take full advantage of college facilities and programs—including some you may not even be aware of
Robert Pirsig’s classic book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance used metaphysical imagery to reveal a more holistic way to think about the world and our place in it.
In that tradition, Zen and the Art of Navigating College is a first-of-its-kind handbook for being prepared to get what you really NEED from the college experience—a path to discovering a greater purpose and the tools to achieve it.

“Listeners hear only the narrator as they findthemselves deeply involved with the material. Warren Brownley narrates with asmooth voice that matches the author's words so closely it's like hearing theadvice straight from the source. As someone who has put a direct andunderstandable voice through several nonfiction titles, Brownley embracesKlein's rich vocabulary and relatable metaphors with ease and conveys themclearly to readers. It's easy to do household chores, a hobby involving yourhands, or drive as Brownley relates Klein's wisdom and insightful stories.” (Courtnee Turner Hoyle, Readers' Favorite)
