But before you do that, hear me out. If you promise to read this book, I'll promise to make it an adventure.

Media Reviews

Author Blurb Dr. Laura C. Schlessinger, author of Ten Stupid Things Women Do To Mess Up Their Lives
This book has many positive, inspirational, and motivational strategies to help teenagers live up to their potential.

Author Blurb Jordan McLaughlin (teenager)
If The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens doesn't help you, then you must have a perfect life already.

Author Blurb Kristi Yamaguchi, U.S. Olympic Figure Skating Gold Medalist
An intensive training program for youth to grow and become winners in the competition of life.

Author Blurb Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People
Unlike my book on the 7 Habits, this book by my son Sean speaks directly to teens in an entertaining and visually appealing style (and Sean, I never thought you listened to a word I said). As prejudiced as this may sound, this is a remarkable book, a must-read!

Author Blurb Steve Young, former Quarterback, San Francisco 49'ers
This book is a touchdown.
