When you think you've been given nothing but raw deals in your life, remember that you can choose to be happy. That's not just a pat theory but a truth that you really can discover and use for your life. Dr. Paul and Jan Meier work with thousands of teens struggling with the same dilemmas ... feelings of stress, worried that there's no future, tempted to check out on reality. They will show you how to deal with issues such as: anger, grief, goal-setting, the opposite sex, siblings, self-image ... to name a few.
Extract of DR. Paul Meier's biography on the website of the Meier Clinics:
Paul Meier is an MD/Psychiatrist/Ordained Minister who is the founder of the national chain of non-profit Christian psychiatry clinics, the Meier Clinics. He has authored or co-authored over 80 books, mostly Christian self-help books like Love is a Choice and Happiness is a Choice, and also a series of Bible Prophecy novels, including The Third Millennium.
I read this back when I was about 14-15. It was OK, but as someone who has actually been diagnosed with a few conditions, this was no help at all (an in fact, made me feel guilty that just eating bananas and *choosing* to be happy didn't work...). I'm pretty sure I chucked my copy after reading it through several times.
