Should you wake up at 4 AM, meditate for two hours, jump in your infrared sauna, spend an hour in your sensory deprivation tank, and then blend up a smoothie made with kelp harvested from your very own aquatic garden? I don’t know, maybe. But is that advice coming from a single person with no kids, a home gym, a personal chef, and a team of assistants?
Humanizing Academic Advising: The Ted Lasso Effect
Let’s be honest: academic advising can sometimes feel more like a rushed transaction than a meaningful conversation. Advisors are juggling impossibly high student-to-advisor ratios, training is all over the place, and too often, compliance takes precedence over actual student development.

If you’re like me and love to read but struggle to find the most literary bang for your time buck, give this list a shot.
