Based on his father's bestselling The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Sean Covey applies the same principles to teens, using a vivacious, entertaining style. To keep it fun, Covey writes, he "stuffed it full of cartoons, clever ideas, great quotes, and incredible stories about real teens from all over the world...along with a few other surprises. " Did he ever! Flip open to any page and become instantly absorbed in real-life stories of teens who have overcome obstacles to succeed, and step-by-step guides to shifting paradigms, building equity in "relationship bank accounts," creating action plans, and much more. As a self-acknowledged guinea pig for many of his dad's theories, Sean Covey is a living example of someone who has taken each of the seven habits to heart: be proactive; begin with the end in mind; put first things first; think win-win; seek first to understand, then to be understood; synergize; and sharpen the saw. He includes a comical section titled "The 7 Habits of Highly Defective Teens," which includes some, shall we say, counterproductive practices: put first things last; don't cooperate; seek first to talk, then pretend to listen; wear yourself out...Covey's humorous and up-front style is just light enough to be acceptable to wary teenagers, and down-and-dirty enough to really make a difference. |

Although the content of the book is undisputably GOOD, the description o fthe item does not clearly state that this is a "MINIATURE" Edition, as long as your finger with only a couple of lines of writing on each page!!!
Disappointed but I only blame myself for not reading properly the decsription!!.

My favourite book of all time!
I have read this many, many times. I can't count them. I was actually wanting to buy another book when I was about 15-16 and found the companion to this one (365 quotes from the book). I took it to my Mum as a joke and she said that it would probably be better than the other one I wanted. So I actually had a look inside it. I read the companion very quickly and was on the look out for the original. I eventually found it and my Mum agreed to by it for me ($35 was a lot for a book I'd never read!). I read it in about two days....
It's such an easy book to read and I still read it now, a few years out of my teens. It is filled with pictures, quotes and stories. It's not just pages and pages of writing, which still doesn't appeal to me!
I would recommend this book to ANYONE. Buy it for yourself, your kids, grandkids. I know it sounds cliche, but it did change my life. :)
