I graduated with First-Class honours. Want to know how I did it? I’ll tell you. Even better, I’ll show you how you can do it.
This book is about the “hidden curriculum” of academic success in the university; the things no one outrightly tells you about, but they shape how you perform.
Academic success is like a construction project. It’s something you build brick by brick. And pillars are what hold up every building.
This book gives you 5 psychological pillars that are essential to reaching your goal of academic success..
How do you make sure you’re not sabotaging yourself internally?
How do you stay driven when the journey gets tough?
How do you approach the academic stuff in a way that makes things easier and more effective?
How do you make sure your environment is supporting (not sabotaging) you?
How do you succeed academically without destroying yourself, neglecting yourself or losing yourself?
❌Don't buy this book if you're not ready for a bit of an adventure, not ready to try new things, or not ready to read patiently and engage with care.
This book is for you if:
This is not just another study guide. This book is for the human behind the student. It’s not only about your grades or academic success. It’s about you. The person who's tired, anxious, hopeful, overwhelmed, and still trying.
In this book, you’ll find out:
📌How you can shape your results (it’s not just about studying hard)
📌How to stay driven and consistent
📌Your unique study personality; one of 8 study personalities with strategies for academic success (not learning styles, this is something new and original)
📌How your surroundings affect your performance
📌How to succeed without destroying yourself (often overlooked, but very important)
University doesn’t come with a how-to guide made specifically for you, but this book gives you one.
PS: This is the perfect resource to get for your daughter, son, sibling, friend or loved one who is aiming for a First-Class degree!
About the Author
Keno Obe graduated with a First-Class degree in Psychology. Before that, she was a burnt-out student who crossed the finish line on fumes. She created Human Behind the Student and wrote this book: the framework she wishes someone had given her. The guide she realized many other students need and deserve to have.
