Sounds like I would benefit from reading The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens. :)

That is apparently an awesome book. I haven't looked at it, but I am a huge fan of the original Seven Habits. Teens is written by Covey's son, I think? If anyone were to know effectiveness for teens...

Huh, I'm surprised to see that the seven habits are the seven habits, and not something new or modified (except for the "bank account" metaphor being more explicit, I guess, instead of independence/interdependence.)

Have you read the original? I assume you've read part of Teens, and now I'm wondering what the differences are like.

Jeez. I'm reading excerpts on Amazon and I want to get it for me! It reads like a "light version" which would be great for multiple readings -- the original is a bit.. stiff at times. Maybe I can glue the cover of one onto the other.

It's pretty great. The introduction says something to the effect of, "My dad's book is boring and stiff. Blech. This one doesn't suck" or similar. Pretty funny. :)
