Publisher's Synopsis
Have you ever...
Felt anxious, stressed or overwhelmed about law school?
Worried about paying off your student loan debt?
Missed workouts, meals or calls to loved ones because of studying or finishing "one more thing"?
As a former BigLaw associate (and current in-house counsel), I've had to find better ways of managing the stress and anxiety of law school, getting a job, passing the bar exam, working at large law firms, and paying off over $200,000 in law school loans. I wrote this book to share tools, tips and insights from my own journey in law (and life) to help YOU on yours.

What current law students are saying about Surthriving Law School (and beyond...)
"Most of the popular law school prep books focus on how to achieve on exams and assignments. I really like that this book explores wellness, which is critical for success not just in academic work but in all aspects of life."
"I REALLY WISH I READ THIS WHILE I WAS APPLYING TO LAW SCHOOL AND AS A 1L."
"Someone finally took the time to consolidate advice and wisdom that I can reference beyond my 1L experience."
"The post-law school tips and guide is extremely beneficial to read as a 3L about to begin their legal journey."
"I like the structured advice based on the life cycle of a law student. The bullet points and briefly stated advice is what people want these days in our busy world."
"This book has it all! ... For those who haven't committed to school yet, this book offers a fresh perspective on making the commitment and deciding if law school is for you. For those of us almost through it, the book sheds light on the next steps while encouraging balance and mindfulness throughout the journey."
