This book is great for "pre-teen" parents too May 11, 2008

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.
Empowering Teens with Strategies that Transform Lives! May 12, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
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!

Teens will definitely relate to this book. Healy and Canfield have done an excellent job in writing about the things teenagers need and want to know about succeeding in life. The book is filled with real-life examples, amusing illustrations, and space for writing one's personal challenges. This book is like a mentor for teens.

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 :-)
