Sean Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens is a simple step-by-step approach to teach teens how to reach their goals. The first three habits focus on self: looking at the effects of your own actions, setting goals, and prioritizing. The second three habits focus on relationships: establishing win-win relationships, listening and understanding others, and working synergistically. Finally, ideas for taking care of oneself physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually both with daily choices as well as less frequent times of rest and renewal.
The content is a clearly explained road map of living a more positive life. The presentations is a times a bit cheesy and the stories included are naturally geared toward teens. Still even if the tone makes your teen want to role their eyes, I think the meat of the information is more than worth the time and effort to understand the points Covey is trying to make. I will be handing this one to my teens to read and hopefully discuss.
