The last decade of research has changed what we know about the teen brain, and the research is exciting!  The teen brain is changing in profound ways: there are unique vulnerabilities that teens need to understand and opportunities that can literally increase intelligence.  

Your Amazing Teen Brain is written for teens, approved by teens (at least the ones I asked), and full of insight, information and quick "hacks" to feel better.   The book is based on science, but it is written in a fun and informative way.   

Your Amazing Teen Brain focuses on: 

An overview of the changes occurring in your brain.  Right now.  And why these changes matter.  The book explains why everything feels more intense and deeper at this moment than at any other time in your life.  It explores the role of stress and anxiety and provides CBT strategies to help cope and even thrive during adolescence.  Your Amazing Teen Brain also discusses the need for meaning for a purpose that ignites and excites you and provides tools and strategies to move towards meaning.  Finally, Your Amazing Teen Brain encourages you to find your sense of meaning and purpose and gives you tools, knowledge, and a path to move towards that change.

 Your Amazing Teen Brain is an amazing book. Written in a highly engaging style, it shows just how dynamic and powerful the teen mind is.
