Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey is a self-help/improvement geared toward teens of the 21st century. The book covers seven habits that, if developed properly in the lives of teens, will contribute to a more successful and happy life.
My favorite habit in this book would have to be habit three. Although habit 3: put first things first is my favorite, this habit is also the one I need to work on the most. Putting first things first involves many things, because there are multiple parts of the process to implementing this habit. First, an individual finds out what type of person they are, then what type of person they need to be. I am a procrastinator. I am not as much of one as I was in the past, but procrastinating is still a problem I struggle with. I must always remember to keep my goals in mind (another part of another habit, go figure) and also be sure to decide what things are important enough to me and be sure to commit myself fully to them.
Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens was a good read, although somewhat hard for me to get through, because I'm not very into self help books. But, for a teen who needs some help sorting out their life, feeling like everything is a crazy mess, this work of Sean Covey is right for them.
