What Do You Really Want? How to Set a Goal and Go for It! A Guide for Teens

Often times teens become lost not because they aren’t willing to make proactive goals for themselves, but because they don’t know how. This book will show them the way.

Denise’s thoughts: First, I have to say I love the worksheets in this book. They will help parents and youth leaders talk to their teens about the goals they are setting. While this is a self-help book for teens, it is also one of those wonderful ice-breakers for parents to use to really get to know their teen as a person, not just their child. Your teen will love how easy it is to read and how much it boosts their confidence level, making it easier to reach the goals they set. It can help make all of your teen's dreams doable. I think it’s a must have for your teen’s bookshelf.

Book Description: Why do some people accomplish so much more than others? It’s not because they’re smarter or more talented. It’s because they know how to set and reach goals. Research shows that effective goal setters have less stress and anxiety, concentrate better, and are more satisfied with their lives. For teens, goal setting is linked to improved school performance, motivation, self-confidence, and self-esteem. What Do You Really Want? is a step-by-step guide to goal setting, written especially for teens.

Each chapter includes fun, creative exercises, practical tips, words of wisdom from famous "goal-getters," real-life examples from teens, and success stories. Readers learn how to articulate their goals and put them in writing (a key to success), set priorities and deadlines, overcome obstacles, cope with roadblocks, build a support system, use positive self-talk, celebrate their successes, and more.

Upbeat and inspiring, this book is a must for all teens. It’s also recommended for parents, teachers, youth workers, counselors, and other caring adults.
