Positive Thoughts For The Day

Are there any good self improvement books for teenagers?

They need motivation to be more responsible! I know they are “teenagers,” but they could use a perspective that doesn’t come from a mother!

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens (Sean Covey wrote this book and it is based off his father’s book: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People)

http://www.amazon.com/Habits-Highly-Effective-Teens-Ultimate/dp/0684856093/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1275431790&sr=1-1

I received this book when I was a teenager and I really enjoyed reading it.

It looks like this book is also suggested:Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff for Teens: Simple Ways to Keep Your Cool in Stressful Times

http://www.amazon.com/Dont-Sweat-Small-Stuff-Teens/dp/0786885971/ref=pd_sim_b_9

When I was younger, I also enjoyed reading the Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul series books. It’s not really a self-help book, but rather a collection of stories written by other teenagers that helps you understand you’re not the only one facing similar issues.

http://www.amazon.com/Chicken-Soup-Teenage-Soul-Learning/dp/1558744630/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1275431910&sr=1-1

Good luck!

If so, you’re not alone. Most of us as children heard fairy tales from our parents. We saw the movies. We read the books. Those stories all had lessons, some more obvious, and some quite subtle.¿ As children, we had our own unique ways of interpreting what these lessons meant to us.Well, we’re adults now, and it’s our turn to read the stories to our kids. Have you ever stopped to think about what the lessons mean to you now?

What You Can Change . . . And What You Can’t*: The Complete Guide To Successful Self-Improvement $9.89 In the climate of self-improvement that pervades our culture, there is an overwhelming amount of information about treatments for everything from alcohol abuse to sexual dysfunction. Much of this information is exaggerated if not wholly inaccurate. As a result, people who try to change their own troubling conditions often experience the frustration of mixed success, success followed by a relapse, or outright failure. To address this confusion, Martin Seligman has meticulously analyzed the most authoritative scientific research on treatments for alcoholism, anxiety, weight loss, anger, depression, and a range of phobias and obsessions to discover what is the most effective way to address each condition. He frankly reports what does not work, and pinpoints the techniques and therapies that work best for each condition, discussing why they work and how you can use them to make long lasting change. Inside you’ll discover the four natural healing factors for recovering from alcoholism; the vital difference between overeating and being overweight; the four therapies that work for depression, the pros and cons of anger–and much more. Wise, direct, and very useful, What You Can Change and What You Can’t will help anyone who seeks to change. From the Trade Paperback edition.
