Review: A great opportunity for us, as a family, to read and discuss!

As a mom, what I liked about this particular book is the author's use of personal stories. After all, stories engage the reader far more than a lecture, and these stories were real...and relatable. There are questions and worksheets to help teens really think about what they want, identify their strengths and passions, identify and consider changes they can make and accept changes they cannot, and raise their self esteem and motivation.I also liked that the principles within this book apply to anyone of any age (myself included) but that they are worded in such a way that speak on a level the young reader can relate to. Not speaking over their head or in long-winded lecture format, but simple to the point statements that are gentle, yet effective.I really love Dr. Katz's style and will continue to buy more books in this series as it will be a great opportunity for us, as a family, to read and discuss these concerns and how to work through them. With the help of these books, it will be easier to approach challenging subjects that would otherwise not be discussed
