I have to admit that I am just a little over the age range that this book is aimed at (69 at the time of writing). However, I can still remember what it was like being a teenager and how my friends were the greatest influence on my life. Unfortunately, my friends had no more experience of life than I did. If only Sarah Edelman was a little older than I am and had written this book fifty or sixty years ago. Nevertheless, over the years while making many mistakes and working through them I have come to learn much of what this book is about. I thank Sarah Edelman and Louise Remond for writing it because now I can pass it on to my grandchildren. Let's hope that they can start their lives on a better footing than I did.

BTW, all the advice and techniques in this book are relevant to anyone of any age. How this book differs is that the examples given are relevant to teenagers.

If we want to change how we feel we need to start with changing how we think. This is particularly important for teenagers because this period of their lives is when puberty and change occurs, and developments in the brain shape the kind of person they will grow into as an adult. The book, Good Thinking- A Teenager’s Guide to Managing Stress & Emotion Using CBT is a useful volume that brings a lot of beneficial information together and explains things in such a clear and concise manner that adults will also benefit from the techniques that are described here.

Has great strategies to dealing with anxiety, the examples are mainly directed to those in high school though which was to be expected.
