Product Description: LIFE LISTS FOR TEENS: Tips, steps, hints, and how-tos for growing up, getting along, learning, and having fun by Pamela Espeland. Lists organize your thinking, focus your energy, free up time in your day (and space in your brain), and give you confidence. No wonder everybody loves lists: making them, reading them, checking things off on them.
Most books of lists feature facts, statistics, or trivia. LIFE LISTS FOR TEENS is different. It’s not about the tallest this or the weirdest that. Instead, it’s a user’s guide to life. Over 200 powerful self-help lists distill "big topics" like health and wellness, relationships, feelings, creativity, personal safety, school, self-esteem, and problem-solving. Each list is like a mini-self-help book—a starting-point for learning, thinking, and making positive choices and decisions.
Some of the lists are practical: 6 Ways to Remember What You Study, 12 Tips for Making and Keeping Friends, 3 Rules for Doing Internet Research. Some are meant to motivate or inspire: 10 Goal-Setting Steps, 18 Great Reasons to Serve Others. Some are serious: 8 Tips for Coping with Tragedy or Disaster, 9 Symptoms of Major Depression, 10 Ways to Handle Hate Words and Slurs. And some are just for fun: The 8 Clown Commandments, 9 Tips for Changing Your Hair Color.
Any teen who has ever made a list will enjoy this book—as an inviting, enlightening read, a place to go for quick advice, and a ready source of guidance and encouragement for all kinds of situations. These are lists that matter, and teens will use them every day.
Life Lessons in Lists This is an incredible book! I bought it for my daughter, but then kept for myself and using it in my 6th grade English class. Students are asking to read it on their own. Yes!
Life Lists for Teens I got this book for my daugher and gave it to her during a boyfriend crisis. She sat down and read some of it and it made her feel a lot better for the weekend. I think it gave her some perspective on making sure she has fun and not to make too much of some things that people say or worry about the "girl" stuff that teenagers have to live with. I hope that she will refer to it often. I bought it for my two nieces for Christmas, one going through a parent divorce. I hope she reads it, it has some good advise for this too.
My daughter is a big list maker - My daughter loved this book. I thought it was good too. It's easy to read...not at all preachy...useful, easy to understand information. My daughter makes to do lists, and don't forget lists, and pros and cons lists....so this bood seemed like a no brainer when I was looking for a book for her to take on her trip. She liked that you could read a few lists at a time, put the book away, and think about what you just read.
Don't delay! Buy this Now!!!!!!!! If you are a teen, a parent, a teacher, a therapist, a counselor, a librarian, or absolutely anyone who works with teens....BUY THIS BOOK!!!!
It is amazingly well-written, comprehensive beyond belief, and one of the only few books that you can actually open to any page and use the material exactly as it is - no modifications necessary.
