Publisher Description
From the author of the wildly popular bestseller The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens comes the go-to guide that helps teens cope with major challenges they face in their lives—now updated for today’s social media age.
In this newly revised edition, Sean Covey helps teens figure out how to approach the six major challenges they face: gaining self-esteem, dealing with their parents, making friends, being wise about sex, coping with substances, and succeeding at school and planning a career.
Covey understands the pain and confusion that teens and their parents experience in the face of these weighty, life-changing, and common difficulties. He shows readers how to use the 7 Habits to cope with, manage, and ultimately conquer each challenge—and become happier and more productive.
Now updated for the digital and social media age, Covey covers how technology affects these six decisions, keeping the information and advice relevant to today’s teenagers.

"My oldest daughter is about to turn 11, so I am preparing for middle school and the teen years ahead. While I think she is still too young to read this book on her own, I think it will be very valuable in a couple of years. The author takes you through six decisions (school, friends, parents, dating & sex, addictions, and self-worth) that will make or break a teen's future. He does a good job explaining the benefits of taking the "high road" and gives tips on how to do so. A worthwhile read."

" Buku 6 keputusan penting kamu ambil adalah buku yang mengajarkan kita untuk bagaimana menentukan pilihan-pilihan yang akan merubah masa depan kita nanti..luar biasa.. "
— Herw, 11/30/2013 -
" Pretty much the same nonsense as the 7 Habits - read my review for that, if you must. I really don't understand the popularity of these books... "
— Kelly, 11/26/2013 -
" Truthfully, this so called "self-help" book has so many unoriginal ideas that I felt as if the author is completley unempathetic to the readers. However, it is clear that some of the topics brought up are very helpful to others who need it and never experienced some of these books before. "
— Kathryn, 11/18/2013 -
" A little cheesy, and borders on patronizing, but is a good way to get a kid to think about long term goals and how to get there. "
— Sara, 10/10/2013 -
" Read this when i was in college. Although i did not take much of the advices (probably, those days are days i didnt take reading seriously), i do believe there are loads of important things one should apply it to life. "

" I honestlly hated this book. The guy who wrote it was just wrong. Maybe I'm just a stupid rebelious tennager but I did not agree with a single thing he said, especilly about datig and sex. No one reads these books. Even I don't. And please, save yourself from the trouble and don't read it. "
— Amara, 2/27/2010 -
