Abstract:
"Building on the success of The Thriving Adolescent and Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life for Teens, psychologists and teen experts Louise Hayes and Joseph Ciarrochi show teens how to face common daily challenges-including bullying; feeling lonely, depressed, or anxious; failing school; achieving peak performance in sports; and much more. With this fun and illustrated guide, teen readers will find solid and actionable skills to help them overcome these challenges, increase psychological flexibility, and achieve their goals"-- Provided by publisher.
Being a teen these days is tough. Some days you feel like you're being pulled in a dozen different ways-- and none of them are your way. Ciarrochi and Hayes show teens how overcome self-doubts, cultivate the strength to face life's challenges, and reach your full potential. Using skills from mindfulness, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and positive psychology, you'll discover new and effective ways to manage difficult emotions, break bad habits, and start believing in yourself. -- adapted from back cover
