"Sean Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens is a true gift for the ‘teenage soul.’ No matter what issues you may be struggling with in life, this book offers hope, vision, and the strength to overcome your challenges." What teens and others are saying about The 7 HABITS of Highly Effective TEENS Basically, I would recommend this book if a student asked me for something, but it would feel presumptuous to present to a student unsolicited.For grades 8 and up. There are also worksheets throughout the book for the reader to fill out not practical for a library book of course, but good for personal copies.
So perhaps this sneak attack will work on teens as well.Honestly, even if the writing is a little too eager, this is a great book for teachers, librarians and counselors to read because it will give them a framework for talking about difficult topics with students (although I’m sure counselors in particular have already received that training, so maybe they don’t need to as much). I know that as I read it, I found myself mentally checking off all Covey’s tips and tricks and thinking about how I could follow this books advice the next time I had a difficult choice to make. But perhaps they will be drawn in by continuing to read even while rolling their eyes. While the anecdotes are useful and interesting, the interstitial explanation of how to actually develop these habits and practices might strike teens as a little hokey. He illustrates how to cultivate these habits through stories from his own life, other teens, and successful people.
Then his son, Sean Covey, decided to take a page out of his father’s book and write a sequel for teens called, “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens.” Written in a go-go-go cheerleader’s voice, chock full of graphics, cartoons, and personal anecdotes, this book will appeal to some teens, but more likely, it will appeal to their parents.In this self-help book, Covey outlines the seven habits that teens should develop to become centered and successful. Once upon a time, Stephen Covey wrote a book called “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” and sold about a bajillion copies.
