Covey understands the pain and confusion that teens and their parents experience in the face of these weighty, life-changing, and common difficulties. He shows readers how to use the 7 Habits to cope with, manage, and ultimately conquer each challenge—and become happier and more productive.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Sean Covey teaches youth how to make good decisions in key areas of their lives through anecdotes, humor and sound principles in the very readable book. He builds upon the lessons from his first book, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens, and goes further to show how those habits can be utilized to make good decisions. If teens follow Covey's guidelines they will find themselves moving farther ahead than they believed they could without dragging a lifetime full of regrets.
