Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens review

Sean Covey's Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens is a self-help book designed with problems that teens face in mind. In my opinion however, Sean Covey is not a teenager therefore he does not understand the pressures that teens deal with these days. Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens drags through its suggestions to deal with social pressures as well as problems within the teen and gives bad advice.

Habit 3, Put First Things First, is a habit suggested by Sean Covey to help teens take control of their lives and keep them organized. In my personal opinion, the way Sean Covey wrote this habit was not helpful to teens. I, being a teen myself, found this habit hard to follow and apply to my life. I think that Sean Covey is too outdated to understand the issues teens have these days. Teens these days have different ways of making sure that they have all of their assigned tasks done on time. I personally prefer to stay disorganized because it helps me remember everything better.

Sean Covey's Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens is an offensive book that attempts to "help" teens control their lives and emotions and I do not recommend this book.
