Summary: A Book Every Teen Can Relate To
Comment: The book Life Stratagies for Teens was an excelent book. The author really knew what he was talking about and what the teenagers these days think. He was able to predict many of my feelings about life. The book adresses ten major rules that are called "Life Laws". It goes on to explain every one of them individually. At first, I must admit that I was very unhappy with the fact that I had to read it because I didn't want to be lectured about the future through a book - much less my parents - but the author understood that most teens would feel that way and made the book a quick book to read. You never want to put it down. I recommend you read it if you are in junior high or high school, it is a book that has situations us teens can all relate to.

Summary: Clearly written guide for teens who need to "get it"
Comment: I saw Jay McGraw on Larry King and was so impressed by his calm yet straightforward manner and convictions that I decided to buy his book. I'm glad I did. using clear language and concrete examples, Mcgraw updates and adapts his father's Life Strategies so that teens can understand them. He also adds some personal real-life examples to show how teens can either drift along in life or forge their own directions.
I was also pleasantly surprised to find that this wasn't just another cookie cutter self-help book. There are questionnaires designed to make teens think, REALLY think, about what matters to them - and why - and how they can go about achieving their goals. It isn't always an easy read but it is a worthwhile one.
As the parent of a teen, I found the short quizzes and question sections very thought-provoking and they even started some good discussions in our household.

Summary: Changed My Mindset & Thinking Habits
Comment: This book was quite excellent. As a thirteen-year-old girl, it sure got me in gear! My twelfth year was spent trying to fit in with the crowd, dismiss good grades, and wear tight clothing. Now, thanks to this book, I have newfound self-esteem, willpower, and goals which I am reaching one by one! My aunt, a huge fan of Dr. Phil, gave it to me for Christmas. I am already a different person. It helps so much with self-esteem issues, peer pressures, goal-setting and other teen dilemmas and issues.
I definitely recommend it to all teenagers who want to get their life in gear! It helps so much, but only if you allow it. This is not the kind of book that you can just skim through. You've got to read it and take action, take it to heart, in order for those Life Strategies to work in your life. I'm telling you, it's so helpful! Thanks Jay!
One last thing, however, I would like to direct to those who thought Jay McGraw was copycatting Dr. Phil's book- NO KIDDING! Where've you been? This book is the same as LIFE STRATEGIES, but it's just been rewritten for teenage understanding. And, also, the rich have their problems, too. Maybe Jay hasn't had to work hard for his popularity or money, but I'm sure it's obviously something he knows a lot about- THINK ABOUT IT! He has DR. PHIL for a father. Please try not to be so critical. Not everyone's perfect, and perfection is only in the eye of the beholder- there is no real perfection. No reality, just perception!
