Winning is to make the best of your time.
This book is a great collection of 'rules' you may or may not adopt to 'win' at college. I never attended an american college, thus 20% of the rules were immediatly useless. The book is also quite old with it having been published in 2005 and thus evades the age of ubiqutous instant messaging and distractions in the age of social media, which is probably why newport wrote 'digital minimalism'. And finally, some of the rules just dont make any sense. Especially the no nap policy. Napping for about 30 minutes mid day can revitalize you if need be, but Cal dives into the multiple hour nap. Thats not a nap, thats a full on dive into driving your sleep schedule into the nearest concrete wall. Its a book americans might take a liking to, 20 years ago more than today. But it still doesnt come close to the amazing book "how to become a straight a student' which revolutionized the way i lived and how i viewed my university years.
