I like how this covered multiple types of philosophies and gave some great tips that young people can use to help their own mental health and start their journey to finding happiness

Considering that the audience is teens and YA, this is a well-organised, and insightful book with practical tips about taking your mindfulness/happiness seriously. It is a tribute to several established and widely researched and discussed philosophies, theories and perspectives on happiness from stoicism to Buddhism and many more.
It is a stunning summary for adults and a great introduction for the teen/YA readers.

This book is great. It introduces different philosophies in a easy-to-understand manner. The text is broken up by pictures and quotes to not overwhelm the reader. The challenge segments at the end give a lot of food for thought. I enjoyed that the author introduced the major philosophical players, but also highlighted lesser-known people and their contributions. Teens should definitely enjoy this, but I found it extremely useful as an adult, too. The suggested reading lists to supplement the text were carefully considered and good additions.

This book is aimed toward older children and teens and gives a primer on some of the different philosophical thinkers of old’s views on how to live best and be happy. The book is informative but also gives only a taste, which I think is nice because at the end, it provides a list of recommended reading for those who want to learn more. Stoicism, Cynicism, Taoism, and Buddhism are some of the philosophies and religions covered. Overall, I feel it gave good information, was light enough and appropriate enough for a young reader, and was even fun to read!

Teens 12-18 will learn 10 different strategies for dealing with life from ancient philosophies ranging from stoicism to zen. A beautiful design makes it easy to read, with 20 challenges to enhance learning. Recommended.
