My Mother Told Me To Read This One

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens (1998)
Covey, Sean
Self-Help
7/10

In case you didn't guess this book tells about 7 habits that help teens be more effective. They are as follows: 1) Be Proactive, 2) Begin with the End in Mind, 3) Put First Things First, 4) Think Win-Win, 5) Seek First to understand, Then to be understood, 6) Synergize, 7) Sharpen the Saw. I have only started trying to follow a few of these habits and it has really started to help.

The Theme for this one is the same as the Genre. It is a self-help theme. It gives you assistance on how to control your life and still give yourself time to do the things you would like to.

Covey is really helpful in teaching you how to organize your time to get all of your stuff done. He uses stories that other teens have told him about what they have changed in their life and how if affected them. He also uses stories from his own life and from his family's lives.

This book is intended for teens both male and female. You may think it is for teens who are struggling with not organizing their time and getting into bad habits. It is for those teens but it can also help teens that are on top of their life.

I would definitely recommend this book. It can help in so many different ways. Maureen Grey says: "I got this to read with my daughter, thinking that she might tolerate it. She loves it. She is actually pestering me to read it with her every night (I am so delighted). We read it together and discuss the stories. I think that is why she is connecting to it so much, the delightful stories." Jane Reader states; "This book is a great book and it has really given me a lot of insight on things I've been doing/thinking wrongly about. I'm 15 myself, and I would highly recommend it to any of my friends."
