      abstract = {The author of the best-selling book What the Best College  Teachers Do is back with more humane, doable, and inspiring  help, this time for students who want to get the most out  of college-and every other educational enterprise, too. The  first thing they should do? Think beyond the transcript.  The creative, successful people profiled in this  book-college graduates who went on to change the world we  live in-aimed higher than straight A's. They used their  four years to cultivate habits of thought that would enable  them to grow and adapt throughout their lives. Combining  academic research on learning and motivation with insights  drawn from interviews with people who have won Nobel  Prizes, Emmys, fame, or the admiration of people in their  field, Ken Bain identifies the key attitudes that  distinguished the best college students from their peers.  These individuals started out with the belief that  intelligence and ability are expandable, not fixed. This  led them to make connections across disciplines, to develop  a "meta-cognitive" understanding of their own ways of  thinking, and to find ways to negotiate ill-structured  problems rather than simply looking for right answers.  Intrinsically motivated by their own sense of purpose, they  were not demoralized by failure nor overly impressed with  conventional notions of success. These movers and shakers  didn't achieve success by making success their goal. For  them, it was a byproduct of following their intellectual  curiosity, solving useful problems, and taking risks in  order to learn and grow.},
