Much needed Info for any teen

What you should be learning in school. This book is jam packed with everything you could possible need to succeed in life. My favourite section is on leveraging social media. We live in a world where there is no regulation on the internet, and it can be very detrimental if you don’t have guidance. It inevitably will consume you unless you use it to your advantage. Worth the listen

Such A Great Resource!

This book is a perfect resource for the upcoming generation. I wish I had the advice that is taught in this book about goal and time management, and especially finances when I was in my youth. I had to learn those by sheer error in my twenties. Honestly, a great resource and every teenager should have a copy.

Essential!

Love that the author discusses social media in depth. But not just what to be aware of… also how to use it successfully and beneficially. And the chapter in finances is ace! It’s become apparent to me recently that, despite studying math in every single grade, so many kids don’t learn the basics of managing finances. For those kids, this book gives great tips and guidance. Thanks!

Great book

This book includes all the things you need to say but would never think of. Takes the haphazadry out of many areas of teen life, and what's more it's coming from a trusted source, not just ohhh mum. An excellent feature of this book is how it is divided into 13 concepts - this makes it easier to go through one at a time and get the skills before moving on if necessary. Because from my experience a teen is never going to sit down and read a whole book like this in a few goes. I really recommend this book to all parents of teens and even tweens.

What every teenager needs

This book talks about extremely important skills that every teenager should have. Its definitely helps you to develop every single essential skill! really well done. This should be included in schools!

Guidebook to important skills

Kids these days post online about anything and talk to anyone as though there could never be any consequences. I've been concerned that kids could get into a lot of trouble without having solid social media safety skills. This book gives some solid advice so that kids can still enjoy their social media like they want, but do it in a way that doesn't put them in any danger.

interesting, educational

Enjoyable listen, I brought it for my nephew. I wish I would have had it as a kid.
I feel I would have had a more productive and more successful early life.
This is a informative book that I think will make an impact in teens lives.
Good tips on suggested ways to earn $$ as a teen, today most teens want to go the Social Media route.
Overall great book every teen should read.
I recommend this audiobook.

Excellent Read

This book is a helpful resource for teens and parents. I enjoyed this book and gave to my son to listen to, he is 18. I think it is important for him to listen on his own to process and work through some great advice and thought-provoking ideas on his own. I'm really glad I did because it has opened conversations about the book together and I love hearing his thought process about the book, it actually surprised me to hear his thoughts and the conversation naturally expands. It has been a blessing. I highly recommend parents listen and let your kids listen. You will likely be pleasantly surprised to hear their process of thinking and how fun and easy an important conversation can flow.

Great Information!

This book has really good information, and it was a great way to start a conversation with my kids. It was a great resource to have, knowing all the things kids can come across nowadays. It makes me nervous about having kids on devices but if they know what to look for and are prepared it puts me at ease. Great read!

If You Can Think It, You Can Do It

I knew I would like this when one of the first chapters dealt with self-faith. Consider this for a gift for your teenager or teenaged grandchild. It's a great idea for them to listen with friends, and they can discuss each chapter with each other. The AB is not just about things that can help with self-esteem and confidence but also has basic life skills, such as money management, critical thinking, and much more. Bravo!
