The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens is a book written by Sean Covey, based on Stephen

Covey's popular book "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People". It teaches teens how
to become successful in their school and personal life. The habits are: be proactive, begin
with the end in mind, put first things first, think win-win, seek first to understand then to be
understood, synergize, and sharpen the saw. Being proactive involves taking responsibility
for one’s own life instead of being influenced by others, while beginning with the end in mind
means having a clear picture of what one wants and planning how to get it. Putting first
things first is prioritizing tasks and activities, while thinking win-win is making decisions that
benefit everyone involved. Seeking first to understand then to be understood involves
listening in order to better understand others. Synergizing is creating something greater than
the sum of its parts, and sharpening the saw is investing in one’s own physical, mental,
social, and spiritual health. This book provides teens the necessary skills to become
successful and reach their goals.

have been created alone. It is important to recognize that different perspectives and skills
