Major Decisions: Taking Charge of Your College Education, published in 2010, is a self-help book written by Henry J. Eyring. The intended purpose of the book is to help both current and prospective college students get the most out of their college experience. “Probably the most important thing I’ve learned about higher education is this: you can get everything you hope for—and more—if you take personal responsibility for the design and construction of your education. The key is to be your own ‘general contractor,’ the one who puts all of the pieces of a higher education together according to a careful personal plan.”

General Contractor's Rules
