This new interactive work-text provides students with the opportunity to develop proficiency in life management skills, including how to set goals, improve thinking skills, communicate effectively and change habits.

The work-text is suitable for self-study as well as for use in the classroom, work-based staff development settings and in support groups. Individual and group activities are provided in each chapter and are aimed at both left-brain and right-brain dominant learning styles.

These activities meet the needs of the seven multiple intelligences, as identified by Howard Gardner. While learning, students can self-assess their level of proficiency by following a provided matrix.

All of the SCANS competencies are addressed in this book, making this an up-to-date resource for adult competency and proficiency.
