A must-read for all, especially in this generation where more children have an attitude of "Entitlement".

The author and reader tapped into their teen minds to write a great book and give a great presentation. I almost thought that I was a teen again. I'm not, although I still can use this information, today. This book is a great reminder that it's never too late to learn. I only wish I had this information in my (pre)teens so that I didn't have to learn emotional intelligence as I did.... the Hard Way and that their was an edition for boys.

Very well done…

I’ve been a big fan of the original for many years. As a family with three late-teen children at present, we have spent time listening to the original book at least twice before when they were quite young, and again as adolescents, because it is filled with so much great life-changing advice and examples of how to have good relationships, I am certain that much of the advice has become second-nature to them, as all three of my children have many lasting friendships and long-term, romantic relationships.

When I see someone talking too much and it is obvious they are trying to impress others with how interesting they are, it always makes me sad and wish that ALL humans were exposed to the truths in this book had an early age, but it is never too late!

I was very excited to find both updates of the book, and immediately bought them both. I have finished the one for teen girls, and kept thinking of a couple of girls in particular who have always struggled with making and keeping friends. It is “Dale Carnegie-light”, but certainly written in a fresh and engaging style that would appeal to that age group.
I’m inviting one of these girls to ride with me to get a coffee so we can listen to it on the way! I am very hopeful and almost certain that she will get a lot of positive responses whenever she practices these new skills!

A must-read for all 8th graders entering high school
