Linda GannawayLinda Gannaway never planned to write a book. But one evening after a relaxing run at a local park, from out of nowhere, a thought exploded in her head, leaving three words burned in her brain: "Student of Life." Somehow, Linda knew the words referre to a book, one she was supposed to write. She didn't have to work the next summer, so Linda spent that time writing. Filled with energy and inspiration, she typed nearly nonstop for two months and ended up with a 300-page manuscript. Wondering if there was any truth to what she had written, she started trying out the ideas and self-help techniques. Her learning curve accelerated. Problems became easier to resolve, and she accomplished her goals faster and with less stress. As a counselor on a university campus, she introduced techniques from her book into her counseling sessions with students, and their lives got better. Convinced the material was solid, Linda began teaching university classes on the book, again with positive results. One of her students worked in a state prison with inmates who would soon be released. He started using the material to help them make the transition back into their communities. She felt thrilled when he told her that and saw it as a definite sign she needed to edit the book and get it published. Linda worked more than 25 years at several universities and taught thousands of students the material from her book, including time management, procrastination, stress management, goal setting, and learning life's lessons. Plus, she worked in the public schools doing intelligence testing with students who had learning difficulties. She knows how we learn and how we get stuck in the learning process, all of which adds to her ability to help people learn their lessons in life. Dr. Gannaway completed a doctorate in education and a pre-doctoral internship in counseling and clinical psychology. She currently lives in California's Central Valley and enjoys speaking, writing, and consulting. For more information visit www.lindagannaway.com. Read More Read Less
