LIFE STRATEGIES FOR TEENS

By Jay McGraw. McGraw, son of author Phillip C. McGraw, offers a younger, hipper version of Life Strategies, his father’s bestseller on the ten laws of life. Frank, conversational, and funny, the book abounds with pointed anecdotes and stories, on-target quotes, to-do exercises, and checklists, but most of all, straightforward advice to help readers steer safely through adolescence and cope with sex, drugs, peer pressure, connecting with parents, setting goals, and being honest with themselves and others. Chapters are titled for the laws they translate into behavioral guidelines. For example, "You Create Your Own Experience," "People Do What Works," "Life Rewards Action," and "There is Power in Forgiveness." The 156-page workbook abounds with amusing activities and self-tests. Grades 7–12. Illustrated. Simon and Schuster. 236 pages. ©2000.
