Giveaway #443 : Win 2 x The Art of Being A Brilliant Teenager - closed - winners Lynn Fancy, Samantha Ripley O' Donnell


*** Click through to read our review of the book ! ***

Everyone is familiar with the cliché of the typical teenager who stays in their bedroom, grunting and grumbling about life, homework, parents and relationships. Although normal behaviour at this age, it’s important that this attitude doesn’t become a defining personality trait throughout life.

This book is a guide to starting the journey to an ideal life as a teen, instead of wasting time being a drip.

The Art of Being A Brilliant Teenager helps support young people to become the very best version of themselves—and shows them how to figure out who that is, exactly. Written by experts in the art of happiness and positive psychology, this new book will help teenagers become brilliant at school, work and life in general. They will learn to stay cool under all the pressures they’re facing and plot a map for the future that takes them wherever it is they want to go.



The Art of Being A Brilliant Teenager will help young readers:

Discover who they are and what they want out of life
Stop moaning and get moving now, while there's plenty of time
Lose their bad habits before they become part of their personality
Figure out how they want to contribute and find a way to do it

This is a book for ambitious teens who are ready to become proactive, determined, successful and most importantly: happy! And for parents and teachers desperate to turn a down-beat teenager into a ray of positivity and delight, How to Be a Brilliant Teenager is here to help.

What the official blurb fails to mention is that it is also a hilarious read that will have teen readers (and quite probably their parents) sniggering at the numerous jokes and illustrations too !

  1. My eldest son turns 12 on his next birthday so he is not a teenager yet (but often acts like one!). Apparently when I was a teenager, I had a bad habit of twisting my hair when I was anxious or nervous - Iuckily I grew out of it before I started pulling my hair out!

  25. My daughter (who's 12 going on 35) mumbles and when I ask her to repeat it she says - it doesn't matter. That and leaving cups and beakers upstairs and not putting rubbish in the bin, really annoy me, I fear there is worse to come though!
