"Disguised as a peppy college-admission guide, Newport's book is actually a profound, life-affirming manifesto for ambitious high school students. Forego the sleepless and cynical path to college acceptance. Instead, blaze your trail to the Ivy League by living a full life and immersing yourself in things that matter. Relax. Find meaning. Be you." -- David Shenk, author of The Genius in All of Us

I couldn't download the mp3 recording. It's just a blank file without file extension. I tried adding .mp3 but it didn't work... Can any one help?
