Amazon.com Review
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. (Ages 13 and older) --Emilie Coulter

 Abridged audio version is WAY TOO abridged December 25, 2009

I selected the CD abridged version of this book after loving the book and wanting my son to get the content. The points were not developed or illustrated enough to have the content be memorable.

My parents bought this book last year for me as a christmas present. It was a nice idea but i am capable of be coming sucessful without the help from a book. At first glance this book turns off teens all together. It looks like the awful pants someone in their 50's would wear. The font is not eye catching and all together it reminds me of a book i would have to read in health class that told me to plan for the future and create goals . not that those are bad ideas . i myself being sixteen just didnt want to even go near this book .
 Great Read! December 14, 2009

My 16-year-old stepson was assigned this reading for his academic/social coaching blocks in school. It's an excellent read; life skills for everyone!

The book was very interesting to read and kept my attention through the whole book. Many of the ideas presented here I have used and if you seriously try to follow its suggestions then your life could be drastically improved.

A while back I worked for a school for struggling teens, and this was recommended reading for the students and I decided to pick it up to see what it was all about and loved the way the material was presented. At that time my daughter was about four and was irrelevant to her so after reading it for my job I just put the title back on the shelf and just remembered the title when my daughter became fourteen. I re-read this book and decided to give it to my daughter before the struggling began and boy am I glad I did. The format is great for her and she devoured the book. She seems more confident and sure of her self as Sean Covey uncovers the secret of way teens deal with today's issues in their lives. It is a fun to read book for teenager to read and uses language that is appropriate for them. It is starting to open line of communications between the two of us and that feels great.
