THE SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE TEENS

By Sean Covey. Following in the tradition of his father’s Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, the author uses common sense and blunt honesty leavened with humor and genuine empathy to show how any teen, regardless of circumstances, can become a responsible, fulfilled individual. Presented with plenty of cheeky cartoons, irresistible anecdotes, and insightful quotes, the seven “habits” (or guiding principles) are: proactivity rather than reactivity, goal-orientated living, prioritizing, positive mental attitude, genuine listening, cooperation, and taking care of oneself. A companion workbook (216 pages) features questions, activities, and readings that augment the paperback content. Daily Reflections for Highly Effective Teens offers digestible quotes and ideas for each day. Grades 7–12. Index. Bibliography. Suggested readings. Contact organizations. Touchstone. 266 pages. 2014 edition.
