The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens -- Sean Covey

Based on his father's bestselling <i>The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People</i>, 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.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Sean Covey<br><b>Publisher:</b> Rp Minis<br><b>Published:</b> 04/07/2003<br><b>Pages:</b> 108<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br
