Harvard professor Richard Light released his book Making The Most of College in 2001 after years of interviews with students. His goal was not to offer up advice on how they could achieve a 4.0 GPA or get a high-paying job right after graduation. Instead, he wanted to figure out how students could have the most fulfilling four years as possible. 

Fifteen years later, the book is still as relevant as ever. Morning Shift talks to professor Richard Light about getting the most out of college and more broadly, about how to live wisely.
