CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Customer Rating:
Summary: Too general to be very effective
Comment: I found only about a tenth of this book to be really useful, namely the Baby Steps sections, where Sean Covey lists short-term goals for teens. For example, the first Baby Steps are to "get up when you planned to for 3 days in a row" and "sometime today do a kind anonymous deed, like writing a thank-you note, taking out the trash, or making someone's bed."

There are also a couple of good quotes scattered throughout. My favorite was found in a section about materialism: "If who I am is what I have and what I have is lost, then who am I?" -Anonymous

But there are major caveats. The biggest is that the book is way too general to be useful to an older teen who probably wants more depth. As a 17 year old, I also feel that my morals are developed to a point where I cannot learn from this book, which seems to be geared toward a younger, pre-teen or younger teen population. However, if your child enjoys Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul, they might like this.

Personally, I did not like having lessons on self-esteem, materialism, honesty, strength-identification, and time management crammed in one book. Covey only lightly skims the surface of each topic, so that the quotes he uses are often much more effective than what is being on that page.

Summary: wow
Comment: The 7 habits of highly effective teens is book about habits for teenagers. Show you about respect, loyalty, responsibility, integrity, and hard working. Shows you about your principles and you bank account. The bank account is about your life. When deposits it's something good thing when you withdrawals you did bad a thing. Shows you never give up on yourself even if you have broken leg or broken arm. If you have a talent keep doing it it's great way to become more confidence. Be active go outside play don't sit inside go do something fun because when you're old you wish your were young again. Growing is part of life too it's gets harder when keep growing up. You don't need boyfriend/girlfriend to be successful in life. If you see someone hopeless or weak, sad give him or her a compliment or help he or she out just make there day happy again. Every decision you make there always a good or bad consequence.

Summary: true condition not disclosed
Comment: the seller should have stated that the exercises/activities had already been completed (in black marker, no less)rendering those activities useless to me. the book had writing in it throughout, which affects the experience of the reader as they attempt to do the exercises.
