Great Read For Parents As Well As Teens

I read this book before I gave it to my thirteen year old son. Because I was told that if gave great insight on the the way that some teenagers think as they go through growing pains. It also was helpful to my child to see that there was someone else who had similar issues and experiences. This book also gave detailed characteristics that a negagtive/unsuccessful teen would have and the positive characteristics that a successful teen should posses. I recommed this book to every parent and there teens to use as a steping stone for opening the means of communication into character building.

A great book for adults or teens

I discovered this book by accident. I found the 365 days version with excerpts and jokingly said to my Mum that I should get it. She was serious that I should and bought it for me. I was intrigued...

That quite possibly changed by life (not dramatically mind you but kept me on the right track). It took me ages to find the full version, but I bought (it wasn't cheap!) and read it straight away (and was a bit rude considering I was staying at someones house as a guest and hid in my room for hours reading!).

It was the first "self help" book I have read and I'd say the best. It is SO easy to read and has lots of pictures and things so it's not just pages and pages of writing.

I have read this book many times and even though I haven't read it for a year or so I can still remember half of the 7 habits and some of my Personal Mission Statement I wrote.
But anyway, the book is great, easy to read and the stuff makes sense, really quickly - you don't have to sit and think about it for ages, you get it straight away - and you WILL remember it.
I haven't even bothered reading his father's book - I've seen it in stores and been put off by the pages full of writing.

Give this book a go - even if it is the only "self Help" book you EVER read it won't disappoint you (I have found others just don't match up).
Give it to your kids, grandkids, nieces and nephews or even your adult relatives and friends. Apart from the references to school aduts can still get a lot out of it!

ENJOY!

Excellent resource for teenagers

This has proven to be an excellent resource for teenagers, especially those entering high school. This book is easily read, and will offer excellent information to the high school or middle school student. I recommend adding a written journal aspect, as this would afford the student an opportunity to reflect on personal thoughts, goals, etc.
Highly recommended!

the seven habits of highly effective teens

I was given this book as a gift. At first, I was skeptical as to what purpose it served, and it collected dust on my night stand for a couple months.

After getting into some trouble, my dad requested that I read this book, as well as right a brief report on each chapter. I would say that it just reinforces things that teenagers already have an idea of in the back of their minds. It just takes some self-assessment to realize these things. The seven habits were be proactive, begin with the end in mind, seek first to understand - then to be understood, think win-win, sinergize, and sharpen the saw. All of these things, I'm sure, teenagers are familiar with. I learned the phrase "sharpen the saw" in middle school. What this book does is give teenagers an in-depth look at what these things mean, and how to use this advice to their advantage. I think the author did a good job of creating stories and situations that teenagers can relate too, but I also think, that at times, he can be a bit corny in his attempts to make the stories seem realistic.

Overall, this book is a good read for any teen who feels like they need some structure in their life. It wont fix your problems, but it will give you the tools you need.
