Find it difficult to stay focused on a traditional non-fiction book? Then this book is for you! This is an easy-to-read, fast-paced, humorous, and enjoyable parable filled with many surprising life lessons. A good story helps you learn without knowing you're learning. This book offers a practical and insightful journey all students—and adults—should experience! This book is extremely unique--there is no other book like it on the market today.

After attending 4 different high schools on two different continents, speaking with students internationally, and personal coaching individuals of all ages and backgrounds, Kent Healy has learned some lesser-known, but crucial ife-lessons that can dramatically increase personal success and fulfillment both on campus and off. And as Kent recognized, these key concepts are not being taught in school or in most households. This means that many students are left to go through life using the process of trial and error only to discover these valuable life-lessons very late in life (if at all).

What others are saying:

“The One Minute Student shows readers the ‘how to’ of taking the initiative to be successful as students and in life.   Kent’s message is so positive and the advice so accessible that it can motivate the student in all of us. I’ll be recommending the book to doctoral students in my educational leadership courses.”

“Put simply, it’s brilliant a clever combination of suspense and truth…a real page turner. One girl’s quest becomes your own, bound together on an unlikely journey to dig up deep meaning, unknowingly in search of personal fulfillment. From an educational standpoint, this book needs to be read by every teenager passing through our public school system today, to teach habits of success and character development.”

"Finally, a book that my teens can read that teaches them the important lessons in life in a fun and engaging manner. I too could not put the book down. Every chapter is filled with lessons I want my children to learn and apply to their everyday lives. Not only will it help my kids, it will help me stay focused on being a good role model for them. Thank you, Kent, for writing such a brilliant book that my kids will actually read. I am going to give it to every teen I know."
