The 7 habits of highly effective teens (7 habits) is a self help book for young adults. It is clearly based of the bestselling book by Stephen Covey called The 7 habits of highly effective people. 7 habits outlines a set of strategies or “habits” which teens can follow to become more successful and content with their lives. Strategies endorsed in this book include creating private and public victories for oneself by considering one’s; personal actions, controlling one’s future, will power, thinking win-win, listening then speaking, keeping a balance between one’s body, brain, heart and soul and more.
There is a great deal of good advice in this book that if taken seriously could lead teens to live more fully and completely without some of the angst that they typically have to navigate. Following some of the advice offered in this book would be helpful in guiding teens though some of the plentiful and sometimes dangerous peer pressure that they feel in their lives. 7 habits is easy to read and has lots of examples relevant to the lives of teens, so I think this book would not seem preachy and be a turn off to teens. This book could prove to be a life-altering read in the lives of young adults who are looking for some direction in their lives.
