THE 7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE TEENS is now redesigned and updated for the digital age. First published in 1998, the book has sold more than five million copies and has become a classic for young people throughout the world. It is the ultimate how-to guide for surviving and thriving as a teen and beyond — an indispensable resource not only for teens, but also for parents, grandparents, and anyone who influences young people. Additionally, the book has now been updated to address the unique challenges of living in the digital age.
Being a teenager can be difficult, but it can also be a fun and
rewarding time with the practice of just a few simple habits. In THE
7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE TEENS, Covey applies the timeless
principles of THE
7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE, written by his
late father, the renowned, bestselling author,
In plain, easy-to-understand language, Covey provides a step-by-step guide to help teens:
- Improve their self-image
- Build friendships
- Resist peer pressure
- Get along with their parents
- Achieve their goals
Additionally, the book is filled with clever illustrations, ingenious solutions to everyday problems, great quotes and incredible stories about teens from all over the world. Covey teaches young people the steps to develop a “can-do” attitude and a winning blueprint for life. He stresses the importance of private victories—how to shatter self-limiting perceptions, forgive past mistakes (and those made by parents, teachers and friends) and how to achieve positive, lasting change “from the inside-out.”
The book tackles issues that most concern today’s youth—including:
- How to stay fit and healthy without buying into the idea that appearance is everything
- How to avoid or break addictions and achieve natural highs
- How to make smart decisions about dating and sex
- How to develop brain power beyond the classroom
Supplemented with helpful charts and checklists, creative exercises and action plans, THE 7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE TEENS also includes an appendix, which features a comprehensive list of resources and websites to help teens in times of confusion or crisis.
When THE 7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE TEENS was first written, the Internet was still in its infancy and social media did not yet exist. In today’s world, technology is central in teens’ lives. From juggling the demands of social media to combating cyber-bullying, Covey gives teens the tools they need to overcome these common obstacles and live life with humor, resilience and personal accountability, as a teen and beyond.
