Based on his father's bestselling The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Sean Covey applies the same principles to teens, using a vivacious, entertaining style. To keep it fun, Covey writes, he "stuffed it full of cartoons, clever ideas, great quotes, and incredible stories about real teens from all over the world . . . along with a few other surprises." Did he ever! Flip open to any page and become instantly absorbed in real-life stories of teens who have overcome obstacles to succeed, and step-by-step guides to shifting paradigms, building equity in "relationship bank accounts," creating action plans, and much more. As a self-acknowledged guinea pig for many of his dad's theories, Sean Covey is a living example of someone who has taken each of the seven habits to heart: be proactive; begin with the end in mind; put first things first; think win-win; seek first to understand, then to be understood; synergize; and sharpen the saw. He includes a comical section titled "The 7 Habits of Highly Defective Teens," which includes some, shall we say, counterproductive practices: put first things last; don't cooperate; seek first to talk, then pretend to listen; wear yourself out . . . Covey's humorous and up-front style is just light enough to be acceptable to wary teenagers, and down-and-dirty enough to really make a difference.

My 13 yr old loves this book!
This book addresses teens that do not like to read at the beginning of the book...and lets them know that he has made it interesting for them too and promises that they will not regret their time spent reading this book. My 13 year old already likes to read, but said this book was really cool. She is very much into it. I'm glad too, since it reinforces being positive and a good person.

Working mother of teens
As a working mother of four daughters I found this book to be a lifesaver for my teens. Don't buy the book and give it to them--buy the book and leave it lying on the kitchen counter so while the kids are waiting for you or food, they'll pick it up and start to read it. Three of my four daughters have now read the book and I hear them talking the language and practicing the habits with their friends. I loved this book and Sean Covey's second teen book, The 6 Most Important Decisions.
