By: Sean Covey

From the author of the wildly popular bestseller The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens comes the go-to guide that helps teens cope with major challenges they face in their lives—now updated for today’s social media age.

In this newly revised edition, Sean Covey helps teens figure out how to approach the six major challenges they face: gaining self-esteem, dealing with their parents, making friends, being wise about sex, coping with substances, and succeeding at school and planning a career.

Now updated for the digital and social media age, Covey covers how technology affects these six decisions, keeping the information and advice relevant to today’s teenagers.

Critic reviews

"Practical and lively." (School Library Journal)

Greatly needed

As an FNP and now pediatric mental health specialist (PMHS) I plan on recommending this book to all my teens and parents. I wish I had read it when I was a teen. Will have my kids at home read it too. What a great guide for young people in this tumultuous world.

One of the most enriching books I've come across

I think everyone should have this book so as to look into themselves to begin a process of positive change in their lives, no matter where in life you are right now.
These decisions are foundational and should be on everyone's mind as he/she works to be the best they were designed to be.

The BEST Book I have ever bought for my Kids

MUST HAVE for Parents with Teenage kids

Awesome Book

If you have a teenagers buy this book. this is an excellent book for them.

Weird...

The narrator said that the people who read their stories are the actual people who it happened to....pretty sure I hear the same dude read 3 different stories. Maybe he had really messed up teenage years idk. I had to read this for school and answer questions and write an essay for each decision. It was alright, but I disagree with some of the things he says. Like “no sex before marriage,” but marriage is something religious which not everyone shares that belief. Anyways this was an easy elective to take but I wouldn’t recommend this book to any teen LOL.
