This book is all about lessons. I personally give this book a ⅘ I consider that it helps a lot for your life. I really liked that the reflections were short and meaningful, but the reason the book doesn't get a perfect rating is because of the fact that some of the reflections were difficult to comprehend, there were a couple of lessons which I did not understand and that was the reason. The book is basically of reflections that you can make to yourself, there are a lot of questions that are like, imagine a fight on YouTube, and stuff like that. I really liked it because I was able to identify myself in a lot of situations, and it helped me know what I should do the next time I am in one of those situations. This book really helped me reflect on a lot of things I have done before and how I could improve. I really like the fact that the book is all about lessons and how a lot of simple things actually impact your life one way or another. I believe this book does relate to my hero's journey. In this book I am able to learn a lot of valuable lessons and the mistakes you made. I was able to connect with almost every situation so that is the way it relates to my hero's journey. In this book you are shown you don't need to be perfect you just need to reflect upon the decisions you make to not make the same mistakes once again. I think this book can also make me change my hero's journey because I will be able to change some things I was doing wrong, and make all of the adjustments to correct them. I am really grateful for this book because it helped me a lot with self consciousness. Now I am more aware of some things that I didn't even notice in the past. I state that this book did change me as a reader. As I commented on my pitch I was looking to find some data of what sort of books I liked to read, and with this book I finally concluded. I really like books that can change me as a person and have a deep meaning in them. This book was perfect because it made me reflect as a reader. I am super grateful because now I am able to pick a book that I know I am for sure going to like. I think I would generally recommend this book to anyone. I think it is an incredible book to read as a teen because it has a lot of things that may help you. I have never been a fan of reading but I sure did like this one. I would especially recommend this book to my friends in Acton because I think it could make them reflect on things just like it happened to me. I really liked the experience of reading this book and that is why I would recommend it. Thanks for reading this review, I hope this inspires you to read daily reflections for teens.

I think the book "Daily Reflections For Highly Effective Teens" by Sean Covey, was a well put together and extraordinary thought out book. First, I thought that it was going to be a novel that talked about the everyday things that a stupid teenager would go through, but in reality that is not exactly how this book ended up going. This book is a book where you are supposed to read one page a day and you are supposed to get personal gain every day from the page that you have read. In my opinion, the author wrote this book very well. I would recommend this book to anyone that feels like like they always need some extra motivation to get through the day. This book has helped me during my day with providing some motivation and positivity.

I read the The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens and really enjoyed it, even though I'm a teen at heart, not age. I got a lot out of it. I came upon this daily reflection book and wanted to try it out in hopes of giving it to me granddaughter. The daily tips and inspiration are good. I got a lot of good reminders from this book. I do think it helps to have read the initial book first.
The Covey books are always insightful and inspiring. I think I'll start from granddaughter out with the original teen book with the extra detail.

[Joslin Hill · Rating 3 out of 5]

I learned most of these habits in middle school, but I found it helpful to review them and think about them in a different way. Although, I did find hints of "stereotypes" such as, heterosexual relationships or what men and women look for in a partner (appearance). It also seemed at times where this book seemed directed towards women, in the sense of the use of the term "boyfriend" in referring to relationships. The author either thinks all men are gay or all women are straight. I should've known from this book coming from my grandmother.

Overall, 3 stars. It wasn't bad.

[Harley Martin · Rating 2 out of 5]

I liked some of these in seventh grade when I started reading this. But even then they weren't all that. Like that one about curing chronic diseases through laughter? No.
I hated how out-of-touch the author seemed to be about teenagers, basically saying they all hate their parents and are lazy and horny all the time. It seemed to address problems that adults have with teenagers more than it addressed real problems that teenagers have.

[Hiển Nguyễn · Rating 3 out of 5]

A role model for every self-help book. Deep just enough for teenagers to think in and out by themself while containing many interesting examples, which makes the book become more friendly and does not require much intensity.

I liked the advice and the quotes in the book.
