88 Life-Changing High School Hacks (A Sur-Thrival Guide): Optimize the Teen Years, Upgrade Your Life Skills FAST, and Master Adulting Before You Graduate (Teen Sur-Thrival)

This is a great book, with lots of friendly and helpful advice on a vast array of subjects to do with becoming a more independent young person. Like his previous book, it is written in a tone which straddles the line between being adult and also being in the young person's level without ever going into the realm of 'cringe'. You never feel he's talking down to his reader, nor do you feel he's too far removed from them. I think this is something that young people will appreciate. The book is cleverly set out so you can either read through or dip in and out and would be easy for anyone to navigate. The advice is sensible and never patronizing and is a really thorough guide. It's something you could buy for any young person but especially someone who needs that little bit of extra help with the process of becoming an adult and all that this entails.

Wish I’d had this back in my teen years! Really interesting and insightful. The content is perfectly suited to teenagers so would highly recommend!

Quite a complex and unique set of scenarios painted by the authors to help us all in differing situations from studying to using a car. Really Quite useful for university life as well. Well researched and lots of novel ideas to make use of.

An excellent book to consult and use. As a parent, I will undoubtedly want my child to read this book.

Such a useful book, a must have companion for high school student.

This is a thorough and well-written guide designed to help young adults navigate their teen years, including school and work ethic, time management and productivity, relationships, health and home, money, spirit/attitude, job and career, and cars. It's very straightforward and full of personal stories that can resonate with the reader.

I really liked the light-hearted and witty approach. It makes the book an enjoyable read. Liked the stories as well. One to read and pass on!

This is a great book that really does have someone for everyone. It is aimed at teens but I think most adults could learn a thing or two from this book too! It is written in easy bite sized chunks which the reader can easily dip in and out of, and skip to the sections which is most relevant to them at that time.

Simple language. Practical examples. A very good book to refer to and follow . I am a parent and will definitely want my kid to read this book

I brought this for my teenage son who is in his first year of high school. He loved it and started reading it the night he got it. Would recommend.
