Being a teen in today's world is tough. Between school pressure, family, friends and extracurricular activities-sometimes it can feel like you're being pulled in a dozen different directions and none of them are your way. On top of that, you may feel lonely, angry, or depressed; or you may wonder if you're good enough, smart enough, or attractive enough. So, how can you overcome these self-doubts, and cultivate the strength to face life's challenges and reach your full potential?
In Your Life, Your Way, you'll learn how to deal with all the changes and challenges of the teen years-and how to grow into the person you want to be.

Advance Praise
“Your Life, Your Way takes a scientific model and makes it tangible and practical. Parents ought to buy this book for their teens. But, please parents, read it and try the exercises first. You might just change with your teens. Also, as a supervisor, I would certainly offer this book to trainees as a treatment outline. The structure is simple, direct, and flexible enough to fit real-world therapy.”
