The Life Guide for Teens: ­Harnessing Your Inner Power to Be Healthy, Happy, and Confident

Gr 7 Up–In this deeply thoughtful guide, physician Anbar engages in discourse to help teens navigate the often-difficult time of adolescence. This is not just another self-help book: Anbar provides practical and empowering tips, specifically for young readers, understanding and validating their unique challenges and struggles while also uplifting them and showing them their potential. A lot of the tools provided come from a holistic approach, addressing not only the psychological and emotional aspects of growing up but also starting the conversation at a pivotal age about stress management, building self-esteem, navigating social dynamics, and other similar challenges. Though it is titled as a guide for teens, it truly would be helpful for readers of any age. Growing up in today’s world is more complex than ever before, and if there ever was such a thing as a life manual, this would be a wonderfully helpful place to start.
