Self-Help Books for Students: Unlock Your Potential!

In summary, the conversation was about finding self-help books for students that can inspire and motivate them, as well as help them manage their student life better. The suggestions given were books by Milan Kundera and a link to a start on Amazon, but the person asking for help specifically requested books that deal with the problems of students and young adults. They mentioned being a third year undergraduate student with bad habits that are affecting their studies, and were looking for books that explicitly address these issues. One person suggested discussing these problems with a cognitive-behavioural therapist.

Anything by Milan Kundera. The link between motivation/student life is not a direct one. Hoever, his books ponder upon many aspects of life and therefore make one reflect. I found them to be amazing.

Thank you Fragment & Goldbeetle. Books that both of you have suggested are indeed great but I want books that deal explicitly with the the students or young adults. Well let me elaborate: I am a third year under graduate student and I have loooots of bad habit, which are severely hampering my studies. So what I want is the self help books which explicitly deal with these problems and suggest me the way out. For example there are books like 7 habits that highly effective people have etc. but they should explicitly deal with students/young adults.
Please help me. I am indeed in great trouble.

I suggest you discuss your problems with a cognitive-behavioural terapist.
