Adapted from the New York Times bestseller The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens is the ultimate teenage success guide—now updated for the digital age.
Imagine you had a roadmap—a step-by-step guide to help you get from where you are now, to where you want to be in the future. Your goals, your dreams, your plans…they’re all within reach. You just need the tools to help you get there.
That’s what Sean Covey’s landmark book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, has been to millions of teens: a handbook to self-esteem and success. Now updated for the digital age, this classic book applies the timeless principles of 7 Habits to the tough issues and life-changing decisions teens face. Covey provides a simple approach to help teens improve self-image, build friendships, resist peer pressure, achieve their goals, and appreciate their parents, as well as tackle the new challenges of our time, like cyberbullying and social media. In addition, this book is stuffed with cartoons, clever ideas, great quotes, and incredible stories about real teens from all over the world.
Endorsed by high-achievers such as former 49ers quarterback Steve Young and 28-time Olympic medalist Michael Phelps, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens has become the last word on surviving and thriving as a teen.

Title: A Powerful Guide for Teens (and Adults) Seeking Confidence and Growth
Review: As an adult, I knew that I had unresolved childhood trauma to address, and I was stuck on where to start with that personal work. In my memoir, I call my path to healing 'eclectic' as I looked outside the box to see what was there that would speak to all the versions of me: the child, the post-abuse years teen, young adult and so on... The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens spoke directly to the "younger me" who lacked models for the kinds of habits Sean Covey shares in this book. Itâs more than a guide for teensâitâs a valuable resource for anyone needing to go back a few steps and rebuild their confidence, especially if youâve faced difficult circumstances early in life.I found the principles easy to follow, empowering, and incredibly effective for self-reflection. Iâve also recommended this book to young women I mentor, especially those navigating difficult relationships with their parents, to help them find their path toward authentic, confident independence. Whether you're a teen or an adult looking to reset, this book provides a solid foundation for personal growth and positive change. I recommend also purchasing the companion workbook, which is likewise very easy to follow.

Title: Very happy - great for teens & homeschool assignments
Review: When it first arrived, I was upset because I thought it was a book.Then, I opened it & looked at some of the cards.I decided to make a card a week for our kids to write a small writing assignment for our homeschool.Today was the 1st day. They all loved the content of the cards & the assignment.The cards really get them thinking about self-improvement & critical thinking.I highly recommend this.

Title: Guidance at its best! Get the book, thank me later!
Review: If your debating, even a little, on getting this book for yourself and/or someone else you care about?⦠DO IT! This book has the ability to not only change the readers life but also the people around him/her. Hereâs how I was introduced⦠My older sister bought me this book 24 years ago when I was 14. Life was confusing and very tough as a teenager. I desperately needed guidance. My sister knew it all too well. I wasnât into reading at that time but when I read the poem at the beginning, I was immediately hooked. Let me tell you, this book brought me so much more than I ever expected!! I actually started to face life with fortitude for once. It gave me clarity, perspective and gave me the confidence I needed to take control over my life. I couldnât of been more thankful. The most amazing part is what I learned in that book still applies to me as much as an adult as it did being a kid. I loved that book and felt it had so much to give I followed my sisters steps and passed it on to a loved one who I felt needed it. Over the last 24 years Iâve given away roughly 7 copies, each in a different period in my life. Iâve even given a few to adults! As I said, this book applies to ALL ages. Out of any item Iâve ever reviewed, this one I recommend the most!

Title: The 7 habits of highly effective teens
Review: This book will change my life in the future. This book will help me to make the right decisions. The part that affected me the most was the habits because I could really get into them and understand them. I really like how it gives real life examples. I really enjoyed reading this book and these moments other people have experienced. The one thing I did not like is that each habit is very long.

Title: Perfect Complement to Book!
Review: My teenager was oh so excited to start the 7 Habbits of Highly Effective Teens - so, we all can just imagine the look on her face when I whip these out on our 30 minute commute to school! And a brand new shiny card, one for every week of the whole year! She will be beyond words with excitement, no doubt about it!Yesterday, after discussing how we would be working on the (book & workbook) program daily, my gracious teen being respectful of my time, suggested that we just keep it to the weekends. (Of course that was after the, ahem, discussion about not wanting to waste my time at all and maybe I would prefer reading Harry Potter with her instead.)So - I happened upon these cards, while searching for some kind of motivational filler, to my good fortune! And placed my order - yesterday.We (as she also graciously suggested that I improve my habits as well) are already making progress!!!! Habit #5 Seek First to Understand, Then To Be Understood (listen to people sincerely)See - I listened to her, and we will only use the books on weekends, without losing momentum - by using these awesome cards in between on the week days! weeeeee!I can hardly wait till our happy morning drive!btw - the main thing that motivated me to write this review, was because of all the recent bad reviews of poorly printed cards.I took a chance, knowing what the odds were, and that itâs no big deal to return.They arrived perfectly - and are a very high quality set as well.

Title: Wish they had this in highschool
Review: Had I read and practice these habits in high school I believe I would have been built differently as an adult. Now I'm implementing this to my 11 year old.

Title: Easy to read
Review: I used this to teach counseling lessons to grades 5 and 6. Some passages were a little advanced or inappropriate for that age group so I did not use them. The entire book is appropriate for junior high to high school
