I guess we all have. My name is Surobi, and I am a teenager. I live an amazingly happy life, due to the mercy of Allah. Yet I feel like I still have room for improvement, to lead a better life than what I currently have. Therefore, I got my hands on this book and I don’t regret it at all. The book that helped me to self-develop (which is the main aim of this website) is called, ‘The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective Teenagers’. Today, I will tell you how I felt about this book, what it taught me and if I would recommend it to you.

What this book is about:

This book is a step-by-step guide that is practical in order to help any teenager to help improve self-confidence, build friendships, resist peer pressure, achieve goals and so on. It goes into detail about 7 habits that will allow you to kickstart into being a happy, healthy teenager. Personally, I think that even adults can read this book because it applies to everyone.

What it has taught me:

To summarise the 7 habits, they are:

Habit 1: Be proactive

Habit 2: Begin with the end in mind

Habit 3: Put first things first

Habit 4: Think win-win

Habit 5: Seek first to understand, then to be understood

Habit 6: Synergize

Habit 7: Sharpen the saw

What I liked about this book:

  1. I liked that it was very friendly and direct instead of having long boring paragraphs. This kept me reading and I couldn’t keep the book down.
  2. It really explained each the habits in detail. For instance, in Habit 3, it explained that you must do important and not-urgent things by planning in rocks and then fitting the pebbles (smaller tasks) in your planner.
  3. I liked that it was relatable to teenagers which meant that it gave me the solution to problems that I didn’t know how to solve.
  4. It made my life more balanced than before.
  5. It allowed me to find advice for every aspect of my life such as making friends, doing well in school and even understanding others.

What I didn’t like about this book:

It could have been a bit shorter for those who just want to know the tips and not want to beat around the bush. I did take some time to read this book due to schoolwork.

My rating: 5/5

To conclude, I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to self-develop themselves and just wants to reflect on their teenage life in 10 years time and just be happy for all the experiences they had. Just read this book if you are older than 11-12 years old. It involved a lot of useful advice that a simple Youtube video or a Ted Talk could provide. I hope you read this book and like it as much as me.
