Success For Teens: Real Teens Talk About Using The Slight Edge by John Fleming

challenging hopeful informative fast-paced

4.0

To me, this book reads at times as a close epitome of the self-help genre, particularly that for teenagers or young adults. The criticism I have related to this is that some of the advice and tools given in this book may appear at face value as overly standardized. That said, I think the author does a good job still elaborating on the main sections in which advice is offered by giving relevant examples in between them. The written personal reflection parts that break up each chapter are also likely helpful to some readers, though I generally dislike these reflection pages because they just don't align well with how I like to share books. Regardless, I can definitely comprehend why many teens would be drawn to this book for learning skills like goal-setting or prioritization. It's just some at times generic advice and what I thought was a bit of an overemphasis on fincancial inventment throughout that led me to knock my book review down slightly to a graded but respectable 4 stars.
