Book overview
Most teenagers mentally abuse themselves, and it's not their fault.
Social media has zapped their attention spans and distorted their self-image...
Peer pressure puts the weight of the world on their young shoulders...
And the constant need to excel leaves them in a permanent state of not feeling good enough, for anyone or anything.
The end result?
A whirlwind of emotions that even the most seasoned Buddhist monk would struggle to keep in check. Their own mind feels like hell on earth.
Then they lash out, make poor choices, skip school, get in with the wrong crowd, become obsessed with social media and video games, and generally make poor decisions that aren't conducive to a life of happiness.
The trouble is, if they don't learn how to emotionally regulate, they're blown from happy place to sad place, like a feather in the wind.
But all of this is a choice.
Because with a little help from you, some guidance from this workbook, and a smidge of effort from them, they can reach their full potential.
Author Emily Carter gets it. As a teenager, she struggled with anxiety and self-doubt, feeling stuck on an emotional rollercoaster. So she promised herself that if she ever figured it out, she'd share what she learned with today's teens so they could enjoy balance, inner strength and mental stability - fast.
Emily started with her bestselling book, Money Skills for Teens, which has helped thousands of young adults worldwide. Now, she's turning to the most important skill of all: making the mind an amazing place to be.
