New Inspirational Handbook, “Zen and the Art of Navigating College,” Underscores the Need to Take Control of the Education Process

INDIANAPOLIS, IN. — Foreword Publicity announces the release of Zen and the Art of Navigating College: An Inquiry into the True Nature of Education and the Power of Self-Discovery, written by Peter Klein.

At best, college can offer an invaluable experience if it leads to finding your purpose. Unfortunately, 2/3rds of college graduates end up in careers that have nothing to do with their major. At its worst, the student fails to garner the skills needed for a viable career, subjecting the graduate to years of lateral wandering in a quest for meaning. The problem is how can you find your purpose without having a fundamental understanding of yourself?

This book will empower the reader to capture the full potential of a college education. Drawing upon the great thinkers of contemporary philosophy, psychology, and science, this book reveals a revolutionary way to navigate the complexities and pitfalls of college and life after graduation. At the intersection of knowledge, philosophy and the metaphysical, one can find insights and understanding that can have powerful influence on one’s perspective. Those insights can shape a reader’s views, advance awareness and help to frame who we are.

Robert Pirsig referred to it as lateral knowledge, “a knowledge that’s from a wholly unexpected direction, from a direction that’s not even understood as a direction until the knowledge forces itself upon you.”

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, including how to:

• How to look beyond the limited views of gifted academics, who are unable to see the wider view of your talents and ambitions.
• Develop a meaningful social and professional network.
• Take full advantage of college facilities and programs to facilitate self-discovery.
• Select courses combined with insights & strategies that will help you get interviews with employers.

Peter Klein was born in Austria in a hastily assembled refugee camp. He holds degrees in chemistry, a graduate degree in biochemistry and nutrition, and a graduate degree in Business and Finance. His migration to America resulted in the crossing of a huge cultural and political divide, a life changing event that triggered a lifelong search for answers to the human condition. Exposed to a wide field of study including forty years of inference reading has allowed him to connect the dots across disciplines to offer up fresh perspectives. He writes non-fiction books that are part storytelling, part letter to a younger generation and part auto biographical, wrestling with issues that have confounded people through the ages.
