Getting into college was supposed to be the hard part. So why are so many kids arriving on campus and falling apart?That's the question that's driven <a href="https://anahomayoun.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ana Homayoun's </a>work for 25 years. She's an educational consultant, author, and today she's back on So Money to talk about the paperback relaunch of her book, now retitled <a href="https://anahomayoun.com/getting-in/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Getting In Is Not Enough: The New Blueprint for Student Success Beyond Grades and College Admissions.</a>We originally built this book around one idea: that grades and test scores don't teach kids how to actually run their lives. But when Ana sat down to revise it for the paperback, she realized the AI-driven workforce made the argument even more urgent — and that the four pillars she teaches (systems, connections, perspective, and acceptance) aren't just for teenagers. They're for anyone navigating a messy transition, whether that's a 22-year-old moving back home after graduation or a 52-year-old rebuilding a career from scratch.We talk about why friend groups shouldn't live in one place, why "choices" is the most stress-reducing word in the English language, and why Ana thinks parents often struggle with disappointment more than their kids do. Plus: her honest take on where AI genuinely helps, where it gets in the way, and what it means to build an entrepreneurial blueprint of your own.Learn more about Farnoosh's upcoming literary workshop <a href="http://booktobrand.co" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Book to Brand.</a> Early bird registration is now open!
