"This book is very valuable reading--not just for teens, but for parents and teachers too! It is a stupendous book that will help young readers learn how to take the best from life's journey and discover how they can make a real difference. If you want to be a success in life, this is a good place to start."

Review by Youth Couselor, L.J. Morales
(Mother of Six)

"It's enlightening and stimulating to see All About You: A Course in Character for Teens, pinpoint very simply, a direct path to the core of a teen's heart. It's refreshing to see that it encourages high standards of morality, responsibility and diligence, in the same respect. Teens grow to understand who they are, where they come from,  where they're going, and how to get there.

The book provides a variety of reflective activities to help bring the concepts home to their actual experience. As my sixteen-year-old son and I answered a quiz, we were able to experience special bonding through similiarities in our final results. Your teen will be stimulated as he covers such topics as loyalty, overcoming hardships, conflict resolution, communication, substance abuse and peer pressure.

As a mother of six and a counselor who works with a diverse group of teens in New York City, I highly recommend that any parent or professional utilize this book to enhance character development in the young people they are dealing with. There are no limitations to the types of teens that it can reach regardless of background, age, or ethnicity."

Teen Review by Jenni Jordan (17 years old)

"As a teenager, I can understand how confusing it is to grow up in today's society. That's why I feel this book is ideal for helping teens to understand themselves and how to deal with issues that they face everyday at home and school, as well as in society itself.

Some of the issues addressed in this book are improving one's attitude (great for emphasizing we-ism rather than me-ism), developing a good self-image (understanding one's true value), building better relationships in the family (good for establishing family unity), learning to be responsible (doing what's right helps us to feel better about ourselves), learning the difference between concepts of infatuation and real love (good for helping teens to abstain from sex before marriage).

All About You offers practical advice on how to address these issues and grow from them. Teens can utilize this advice to improve as individuals and then help others to improve as well. Let's use this book to help our youth and in that way, help communities everywhere."
