The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective
Teens by Sean Covey
The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective Teens Workbook
Based on his fathers 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 dads 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; dont cooperate; seek first

to talk, then pretend to listen; wear yourself out... Coveys 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) --

Personal Review: The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective Teens by
Sean Covey
Most of us grown-ups have heard or read Stephen Covey's book The
Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. Sean Covey, Stephen's son, grew
up with a father that extolled these virtues throughout his childhood. It has
obviously worked as witnessed by this book.
If you are raising a teenager and care about their personal growth and
daily challenges then please do the following: 1) pick up two copies of The
7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens 2) you read one chapter and your child
reads the same chapter 3) upon completion, discuss the chapter with your
child and 4) repeat for the remaining chapters. I have done this with my 15
year old daughter and as a result have seen her mature before my eyes
and, perhaps most importantly, have grown closer to her.
As a side note, we were in the book store the other day and my daughter
asked if I could buy her a book. She handed me Sean's other book The 6
Most Important Decisions You'll Ever Make: A Guide for Teens. I can't tell
you how moved I was when I saw her interest in another of Sean's books.
