Every High School Student Should Read This Book

The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey - Every once in a while I read a professional book that was recommend to me by my colleagues, or other adults, that think I might benefit from or enjoy the insight the book has to offer.  Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephan Covey was one of those books.  My wife and principal are just two of the people I know that continue to quote and comment on the message that Stephan Covey conveys in his book.  When Sean Covey's book came to our attention recently, my wife bought three copies for each of my children, ages 12 through 16. The hope is that the thinking and motivation derived from Stephan Covey's book for adults will have the same effect on our teenage children after reading Sean Covey's book for teens. Needless to say, since it has been recommended by my wife and I, my kids are not very motivated to read it. Yet. I hope I get the chance to promote this book to others as well.
