A fresh look at time tested techniques of Brian Tracy. It teaches kids how to excel in their life. In difficult times your approach to the task decides chances of success. A perennial self help guide. A perfect gift for teens.

This was a short and fast read. I liked the basic ideas of the book. The first few chapters on self esteem and goal setting were good. Overall, it was a good read and one I can easily recommend to students.

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley. This doesn't impact my opinion in any way.

So good, so good!
This book would have been invaluable during highschool and college!

The adult in me got a lot of info from this. The teenage me would have valued this greatly!

It is an easy read trying to bring basic ideas about time management, goal settings and mindset into the world of students. It provides a little research for the ideas presented but it doesn't focuses on it. It just gives some very precious guidelines, also encompassing ideas about stress and how to best use technology to one's advantage.

What I appreciate the most about this book is the tone of the author and how it can be an outside voice that gets one young adult to make better choices for himself or herself. It emphasizes greatly personal responsibility and choice, but has the empathy to understand and take into consideration that student life comes with various relationships (with peers, parents and teachers) that can change the course of things.

I would recommend this to any teen wanting to better his or hers school results and life in general. And to any adult who wants to get a simple scheme of ideas and strategies to begin bettering their own life.

EAT THAT FROG! FOR STUDENTS by Brian Tracy with Anna Leinberger has a truly attention-grabbing title, doesn't it? The authors (a motivational speaker and a former high school teacher) build on previous works written for a business setting in order to outline "22 Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Excel in School." For example, they concentrate on actionable steps and begin with three key pillars: self-esteem, personal responsibility, and setting goals. Subsequent sections review structuring time, establishing a study pattern, and handling the pressure to achieve. There is a separate section on stress which advocates planning ahead, preparation and the intentional use of technology. All good ideas, of course. I especially like the emphasis on tackling your major task first; however, I do wish there were more diagrams and images so as to create a more engaging space for potential teen readers.

Where was this book when I was in varsity and my course load was totally huge and I was procrastinating. I highly recommend this book to every student and to me obviously because I am back at school and I set unrealistic tasks. This book is a gem and a fast read. Huge thanks to the publisher for my ARC
