7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey is a great self help book for teenagers. Mr. Covey explains seven simple steps for teens to follow to improve their lives. He explains these steps in an easy-to-understand way using short stories and personal experience as proof.
My favorite habit was synergy because it is so true. Working with people gets SO much more accomplished! Group work is also more interesting and helps you learn more because you hear the ideas of someone other than yourself.
My least favorite habit is to sharpen the saw, and that's probably because I'm bad at it. Sean Covey explains that you need to take time out for yourself to relax and de-stress. I have trouble with this habit because i feel like i can't give myself a break until EVERYTHING is done. In actuality, it would be easier and better for me to give myself a little break to do something i enjoy, like go on a run, before doing stressful things like homework.
The habit I have mastered is putting first things first. I have a good set of values and usually know exactly what is important to me. Although sometimes it is hard to put more important things ahead of hanging out with friends, talking on the phone, or getting on the computer, I usually know what is most rewarding and have enough self control to make the right decision.
I would recommend this book to any teen. It has helpful tips for anyone! The stories in this book really relate to everyday teen experiences. It was an easy read that really made me realize some key success points for my life.
