Anyone who thinks teens have it easy hasn't been to a high schoolrecently. As the headlines remind us almost daily, America's teenagersdeal with stress in just about every facet of their lives: academics,sports, social situations, family life, money matters, even work. NowRichard Carlson, author of the Don't Sweat series, with sales of 12million copies, applies the same techniques to teens that have madehis other books required reading for anyone coping with life'severyday challenges. In simple, straightforward language, Dr. Carlsonaddresses common teen concerns with chapters such as: "Make Peace withYour Mistakes," "Be Creative in Your Rebellion," "Be Okay with YourBad Hair Day," "Turn Down the Drama Meter," and "Notice Your ParentsDoing Things Right." As with his other Don't Sweat the Small Stufftitles, teens and their parents will find that Richard Carlson'spositive approach helps to minimize the impact stressful situationshave on their lives.

Richard Carlson has written numerous books encouraging folks not to"sweat the small stuff", and his title for teens is as warm, wise, and witty ashis previous works. His tone is one of an older family friend who manages toadvise while still maintaining the minimum level of coolness that teens requirefrom those who intend to guide them into adulthood.

With 100 different chapters, each just a few pages in length, this littlebook works especially well as a bedside companion or tucked in a backpack forthe morning commute to school. Each chapter is devoted to a single, simple ideasuch as "trust your inner signals" and "root for the underdog," and plenty ofreal-life examples from teens are used to illustrate principles. In the secondchapter, a teen volunteering at an animal shelter is used to show how just oneperson can make a difference, as she takes the time for one more phone call thatresults in saving a dog's life. The concepts are appropriate for both early highschool students and new graduates--who doesn't need an occasional reminder to"be ok with your bad hair day"? Incorporating sports, theater, literature, videogames, teachers, and parents into stories make these examples accessible to kidsof all interests, and a sprinkling of tales from the author's own teenage yearsadds an effective personal note. With plenty of suggestions for addingactivities into a teen's life--volunteer opportunities in particular--your childmay even feel encouraged to seek out new forms of positive expression simply forthe joy of the activity, rather than the old standbys of "my friends are doingit" or "I need it to get into college." --Jill Lightner
