I’ve never been a big reader. So, it shouldn’t come as a total shock that I hadn’t heard much about self-help books until my mid-twenties. Now that I’m nearing thirty, it’s one of my go-to genres!
Every time I finish a new one, I often think: I wish I would have read this ten years ago. I don’t beat myself up too badly about it—after all, life is all about learning! But I can’t help but wonder how much easier parts of my life could have been if I’d picked up the right book at the right time.
If your teen is dealing with difficult feelings, hesitating to break bad habits, or simply wants a little more from life, introduce them to these self-help books for teens!
