So before going off to college to learn how to reason, let’s read a book about the importance of faith (and the unimportance of evidence). Tell your DC not to forget her astrology book when she goes to her astronomy class.

You’ve obviously never read it and/or are unfamiliar with the topic.

I think that one’s good for PhD/other kinds of work that is long-term and largely self-directed on a day-to-day basis. But Newport’s How to Become a Straight-A Student is more useful for undergrad. It’s god both wrt time management and study strategies,

“Total Truth” by Nancy Pearcey. Excellent book for Christians that argues against the marginalization of faith.

Honestly, nothing

Virginia Woolf's books and Frankenstein are the books that are "in" these days with college professors.

"Sophie's World" by Jostein Gaarder. For so many reasons, but I'll say, it was the one book I gifted to my FIL, a philosophy professor, that he hadn't already read and truly impressed him. He made it required reading for all of his freshman advisees.

Whatever they want. Or not.

Deep Work by Cal Newport about resisting the temptation of distractions and remaining concentrated.

And why you recommend it
