7 Habits Of Highly Effective Teens Summary

Improved Essays
The book 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens is a book with great stories, advice, cartoons, quotes and a lot more! Sean made the book extremely interesting and he wrote it in such a way that you could barely put it down. He had stories where the habits that were applied helped work things out and made all the difference. To only make the book better he put funny cartoons in with quotes that really were true, and how life growing up for him was like. Sean really had a sense of humour when writing the book and it will really crack you up when reading the book. I totally enjoyed the whole book, and would call it a must read. The book started off with the introduction then introduced the 7 habits with a few word summary of what each habit was. Then to make it interesting he wrote the totally opposite of each habit and what would would do if you were doing the opposite. After that he went into two sections about paradigms of ourselves, others, life and then onto being centred in different things. In the next section he introduced the Personal Bank Account what it is and how it is used. After we went into the first habit “Be proactive”.

We are in charge of our lives, then we have to start off with a plan in our minds, and to do that we need to put the first important things first, think about it as a way that both teams can win in a project or something, make sure you know what the other person is saying before jumping to conclusions before you even know, and of course work together, put all of your strengths together to build something that not one of you could have done on your own, then take time for yourself. Recharge yourself. I found this book to be extremely useful and I think that every teen should read it at least once in their teen years. I believe the world would be a better place if everyone applied these 7

    In reviewing this book, however, I must give my honest opinion on how I felt toward it. In general, this book is organized and well written. Yet, what makes it so challenging to follow is a result of the time frame it was written in. The older usage of language along with the lack of technology to accurately translate this into the American language makes this book require an extensive amount of time in order to actually understand it. For me, I struggled immensely finishing this book, let alone being able to recite what I learned from it.…

    I liked this book because it explained that our minds can sometimes trick us. Even the smartest people do not always see the most obvious things. They compare different types of people and show how our minds work in similar ways. I liked the gorilla video that they spoke about at the beginning of the book. That video has been showed millions of times and people still do not see the big black gorilla that walks through the middle of the…

Like how some people need to have things a certain way, before I read this book if I had heard about a boy who wouldn’t eat anything yellow I would have honestly thought that he needed to move on. However, after reading this book I realised that some people can’t eat certain foods, say certain things or control certain…

    What I enjoyed was listening to the guide about how the Kean’s spent their everyday life; servants would aspic food because most people by the age of 18 had already started to loose teeth and they would also even cut up the food for them because it was impolite to do so at the table. All of the information he said in relation to eating manners was a shock to me. Living my life today I couldn’t imagine conforming back to living like they did.…
