It's tough being a teenager. Peer pressure, dating, trying to fit in, and making the grade are just a few of the hurdles they must overcome. Sean Covey has taken the principles and habits introduced in his bestselling The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens and applied them to a practical guide book that helps teens understand and conquer six key issues: gaining self-esteem, dealing with parents, making friends, being smart about sex, steering away from substances, and succeeding at school and planning a career.
With his trademark wit and practicality, and based on years of research, Covey teaches teens how to effectively cope with the pain and frustration that goes along with making day-to-day choices that can affect the rest of their lives. Although written directly to teens, The 6 Most Important Decisions You'll Ever Make also gives parents some helpful insight on how to boost their kids' confidence and become happier and more productive individuals. Just as the original 7 Habits for teens is the established guide for adolescents all over the world, The 6 Most Important Decisions You'll Ever Make is destined to follow in its successful—and helpful—footsteps.

“From one mother to another, I highly recommend that if you want a better future for your teens, you must have them read this book!
— Candace Lightner, founder, Mother Against Drunk Driving
“It’s a rare thing to find such an innovative and inspirational book all rolled into one.”
— Larry King“This book will prepare teens to handle the pressure and make the right universal big decisions right now.”
— Peyton Manning, quarterback, Indianapolis Clots" Overall I think there are a lot of good things about this book. It does best when it helps teens think through difficult situations, it is at its worst when it tells teens what to do. The worst sections are about sex and drugs. It takes a hard line—abstinence until marriage; don't touch anything that looks like a drug—approach. My understanding is that abstinence only sex education is associated with an increase in teen pregnancy and STDs. Similarly, telling a story about the horrors of pot and how someone crashed a car and killed their friend while using it is very reminiscent of the 1930s "Reefer Madness." It's just bad psychology. With these faults in mind, I think there is a lot of good advice on certain things and it can be useful in organizing your life. Much of the material is straight out of Stephen Covey's 7 Habits, and that's a time-tested masterpiece. "
