Well, you don't have to be anymore. Life Strategies for Teens is the first guide to teenage life that won't tell you what to do, or who to be, but rather how to live life best.

Whether dealing with the issues of popularity, peer pressure, ambition, or ambivalence, Life Strategies for Teens is an enlightening guide to help teenagers not only stay afloat, but to thrive during these pivotal years.
Whether you are a teen looking for a little help, or a parent or grandparent wanting to provide guidance, this book tackles the challenges of adolescence like no other. Combining proven techniques for dealing with life's obstacles and the youth and wit of writer Jay McGraw, Life Strategies for Teens is sure to improve the lives of all who read it.
I MADE YOU A LOT OF PROMISES IN THE INTRODUCTION and here's the catch: You have to make them come true. Read the first page

Changed My Mindset & Thinking Habits,
By Kristen Alexis Marcano (Hamden, CT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Life Strategies For Teens (Paperback)
This book was quite excellent. As a thirteen-year-old girl, it sure got me in gear! My twelfth year was spent trying to fit in with the crowd, dismiss good grades, and wear tight clothing. Now, thanks to this book, I have newfound self-esteem, willpower, and goals which I am reaching one by one! My aunt, a huge fan of Dr. Phil, gave it to me for Christmas. I am already a different person. It helps so much with self-esteem issues, peer pressures, goal-setting and other teen dilemmas and issues.I definitely recommend it to all teenagers who want to get their life in gear! It helps so much, but only if you allow it. This is not the kind of book that you can just skim through. You've got to read it and take action, take it to heart, in order for those Life Strategies to work in your life. I'm telling you, it's so helpful! Thanks Jay! One last thing, however, I would like to direct to those who thought Jay McGraw was copycatting Dr. Phil's book- NO KIDDING! Where've you been? This book is the same as LIFE STRATEGIES, but it's just been rewritten for teenage understanding. And, also, the rich have their problems, too. Maybe Jay hasn't had to work hard for his popularity or money, but I'm sure it's obviously something he knows a lot about- THINK ABOUT IT! He has DR. PHIL for a father. Please try not to be so critical. Not everyone's perfect, and perfection is only in the eye of the beholder- there is no real perfection. No reality, just perception!

Direction for a lost teenager,
By Kristienne Czarnecki (Vermont, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Life Strategies For Teens (Paperback)
This book really got me on track for success in high school and life. I received it as a Christmas present in my freshman year and it is one of the reasons that I am still in one piece.Coasting in high school is a common ailment of my class and this book helps you see what the problems with coasting are, why you do it and what you can do about it. The format was well thought out. The beginning of each chapter starts with why you need to read that chapter and the end finishes with a lightbulb box that highlights the important parts you should remember. It is concise and really addresses what you need as a teen and not what your parents want you to do. But, it also steers you towards the "right" decisions, highlighting the payoffs of your harmful behavior and making you realize the error of your ways. All in all, this book is excellent for teens who know they can do more and do better but really don't know how to go about changing themselves.

Life Strategies for Teens,
By Baby (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Life Strategies For Teens (Paperback)
Life Strategies for Teens by Jay McGraw is a nonfiction book. In it the author talks from his own experiences and shares his own stories, as well as stories from other teens. One of the rules of life he suggests is: you need to "get it" which simply means in order to succeed in life you need to understand life. The one thing that I took out of this book was that you shouldn't let people walk all over you. Don't be a door mat.I could definitely relate to the things that the author talked about in the book. I have also done some of the things that the book talked about. For example, it tells you about denial. I used to be in denial about my life. I liked this book a lot. It was very good. I didn't really have a favorite part. I thought the whole thing was really good. I would not want to change any part of it. I would definitely recommend this book. Someone who doesn't really like to read story books, would like this book.
