What The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens is about
Sean Covey, the son of Stephen Covey, wrote a self-help book for teenagers that is largely based on The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. The book argues that teens can become more independent and effective by building seven basic habits, starting with taking initiative in every part of life and extending to planning and prioritizing daily responsibilities. Along the way it offers a simple approach to improving self-image, making friends, resisting peer pressure, reaching goals and appreciating parents.
The tone is upbeat and practical, and the pages are lively, with cartoons, quotes and stories about real teens. An updated edition tackles newer challenges such as cyberbullying and social media. It will help teenagers who want a friendly push toward better habits, and parents or teachers looking for something to share with them.
