Don't Sweat the Small Stuff for Teens


Title: Don't Sweat the Small Stuff for Teens
Author: Richard Carlson, Ph.D.
ISBN: 0-7868-8597-1
Format: Chapter Book- NonFiction
Pages: 242 pgs.

Summary: This book is 100 chapters of different scenarios and circumstances that a teen might find themselves in. These scenarios in particular of stressful ones and it gives too tips from a professional's perspective on how to cope with typically teens issues. The topics include: drug and alcohol use, break ups, confrontations, future stresses, academic issues, getting involved in sports, trusting your instincts, being a role model, visiting the elderly, volunteering, being ethical, reading, being organized, staying optimistic, taming the anger, being kind, and much more to fill 100 chapters. There is good advice that I think teens can reflect on when they find themselves in the same situations and gives them examples to live by. The chapters are also really short so the reader can skip around to issues that they are currently dealing with instead of having to read the entire book.
