Reviews for Life Strategies for Teens
Rating: 4.75 out of 5 stars
5/5
8 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is one of the best books for teens that I have come across. My 15 yr. old is having a challenging time and I bought this for her. Jay gives wonderful, realistic advice for teens.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Jay McGraw tried to make the ten life laws concepts understandable and included useful stories to help clarify each concept. Most of the time I thought his approach of anecdotes and metaphors were good and at other times I thought certain sections were long winded with too much explanation. I think this book would be a good recommendation for students to follow a step by step plan to improve their life, which is written from a young adults point of view.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It's a good book for teenagers to read and learn from. It is relational and very practical.
