Another great tool for teens! 
2008-05-26
This is yet another great tool for teens from Jack Canfield...
Let's give them ALL the tools and inspiration we can to achieve success in life. I also recommend his latest book on the Law of Attraction Jack Canfield's Key to Living the Law of Attraction: A Simple Guide to Creating the Life of Your Dreams for teenagers- After reading it myself I bought it as a gift for several teens as well. Both of these are written on a level that speaks to all ages!
Thanks Jack!
Contemplating on whether or not to buy this book? Then read me... 2008-05-15
Okay, I know what you're thinking...."This is just another teen success book to make me feel as if my life is miserable..." WRONG! The Success Principles for Teens does not tell you that your life is miserable. It gives you steps to make your dizziest day dreams come true. It will not only give you confidence, but it will make you feel so much better about yourself. Now, if I were you, I would go grab some coffee and open this book and start my journey into complete success. Trust me, you won't regret it!

So glad to have found this book! Get your own copy! You deserve it! 2008-05-13
I am not a teen. I am not even in my twenties but this book has already taught me one of the most valuable lessons: to take 100% responsibility for my life and realize that I have more to do with the outcomes in my life than I wish to admit. So far, whenever things didn't go the way I imagined, I always found the reasons why .... I.e. it wasn't the right time, my parents weren't rich enough, my school wasn't prestigious enough and then my colleagues weren't dedicated enough, I wasn't lucky enough, I didn't have the right connections, etc. While all of that may have been true, I finally realized that no one really cared for my explanations. I was spending all this time on justifying my "so-called" failures, vs. focusing on taking responsibility and making changes in myself and my life.
So why was it this book- "Success Principles for TEENS" - that opened my eyes? Normally I wouldn't have sought out a "teen book" but I happened upon this one through a friend who has ordered Kent Healy's other book "Cool Stuff They Should Teach in School" for her students.
I must admit, typically I'm simply too annoyed and occasionally intimidated by self help books but this one was different. It was genuine and real. And it was definitely not "preachy" if you know what I mean. Reading it felt like talking to a good friend, someone who understands your potential but doesn't let you get away with excuses.
I only wish I had this book sooner. Who knows what my life would be like now?!
Anyway, I highly recommend this book to anyone who is striving for a better life. Not sure how much discount Amazon gives today, but $15 dollars is NOTHING compared to what you'll get out of this book. I felt like I owed it to myself to get my own copy and now I am going to order some for my friends too - especially those in their teens and twenties - just to give them a head start :-)
Empowering Teens with Strategies that Transform Lives! 2008-05-12
I highly recommend the book for ALL teens! After applying the strategies in their lives, teens have transformed their dreams into reality. I know the ideas works and have countless stories of the power of these princples. The book is great for teens trying to figure out life and for teens who already DREAM BIG! This book is also great for English classrooms, Leadership and Psychology classes, Student Councils and any teen leadership programs! Imagine a world where teens undestand the power of their thoughts and their feelings as they take action and create their dreams! Our World's Future is Bright!
This book is great for "pre-teen" parents too 2008-05-11
I often read half a chapter to my kids before they go to bed at night. It's an easy read. If these principles that Jack and Kent have written about are understandable to a 5 and 7-year old (my two kids), then I'd encourage other parents with "pre-teen" kids to buy the book.
Motivator for children 2008-07-06
I know the book says for TEENS, but why wait????
My granddaughter's birthday is in July. Facing 10 and the next grade and struggling somewhat through the end of the last semester, I wanted her to have a view of the 'big picture' that she would be ready to take on the challenge of the critical years to come.
This book is about empowerment. Helping a child form their own opinions and allowing them to mature without encumbering them with mixed messages during a difficult time.
I have only been working with her a month, but she now understands WHY she WANTS a clean room. She has already developed some of her OWN goals and is even forming ideas about what she would like to be when she grows up.
Since the book is written by peers, it gives kids tools and examples in their own language.
She has come to understand that class projects are not something to be done casually, but with consideration and forethought.
Even MORE important is the sense of SELF she is discovering and, as an amazing side benefit, HAPPINESS.
Maybe they should have called this Stop the Mope, Learn to Cope.... I DID read the book WITH her to help her feel more empowered and teamed up with an ally.
I also figured this would be the best way to PREPARE ME for the changes she would get from this book.
Ready for a re-birth? Make this book a family event and grow together.
Perfectly Happy 2008-07-01
This book was perfect for my daughter who is struggling to figure out what life is all about. Once she started reading this book, she couldn't stop talking to me about what the book said. The book really helped her understand things that I couldn't help her with. I am very happy that I purchased this book for my daughter. I highly recommend it for anyone who has a teenage that is struggling to figure out life.
Amazing Inspiration 2008-06-20
Wow, I devoured the book "The Success Principles for teens" in 3 days and I am absolutely amazed how you are able to attack EVERY SINGLE negativity a teenager could possibly have. That fear, excuse, or problem - all answered. I have to admit, besides completely revamping my whole outlook on life, this IS the best book I've read in all of school.
I wish they would've have written this book sooner! 2008-06-04
The Success Principles for Teens is a phenomenal book! I wish I would have had a copy as a pre-teen or teenager. It would have saved me a lot of needless pain & suffering. This book teaches teens how to take responsibility for their lives, set goals, and establish healthy self-esteems and healthy self-perceptions. It encourages the reader to be persistent and to give their best no matter what. Each chapter is sprinkled with inspiring stories that back up the 20 principles. It is extremely fun and entertaining to read while teaching important life skills. I am 27-years old and was motivated to take the suggestions in the book. Implementing these suggestions has absolutely changed my life for the better. I am now goal oriented and have a much more positive outlook on life. This book made me feel that I finally have the tools necessary to deal with the real world.
The Success Principles For Teens 2008-05-26
Read about those who did what they wanted to do despite their realistic external conditions or situations. The Authors have studied those people who did what they wanted to do, even those who did something that no one had done previously. The Success Principles are a result of those studies.
Is there something you want to do? Is the next step reading, learning and applying The Success Principles to your own life? You've got the potential, just the same as those examples in the book who succeeded in doing what they wanted.
It's up to you......!
