ABOUT THE 6 MOST IMPORTANT DECISIONS YOU'LL EVER MAKE: A GUIDE FOR TEENS

The 6 Most Important Decisions You'll Ever Make: A Guide for Teens is a widely used best-seller book in the American schools used to teach the right habits and values to teenagers. It is author Sean Covey's follow up to his international bestseller The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens.

After speaking to thousands of teens around the world and reading thousands of letters and emails from teens hungry for guidance in the six years since The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens was published, Covey was struck by the seriousness of the issues facing teenagers today and how decisions they make set the course of their lives. "We can't afford to have a casual attitude and think, 'Oh, kids will be kids,'" says Covey, the nation's most trusted advisor to teenagers. "Teens are facing huge, challenging decisions. In talking with teens I saw that a frightening number of these kids were making decisions that were going to mess them up for life." According to Covey, the six key decisions that face every teenager and makes or breaks the future revolve around these topics:

  • School Making the right choice about your education will either open doors of opportunity or slam them shut.
  • Friends Choosing who you hang out with determines a powerful influence in your life.
  • Parents Deciding what kind of relationship you have with them sets the stage for key relationships in your life.
  • Dating and Sex Making informed decisions.
  • Addictions Dealing with pressure and temptations and learning the realities of addiction.
  • Self-Worth Learning that self-worth involves much more than beauty and bulging biceps.

"Smart people learn from their own mistakes, while really smart people learn from the mistakes of the others," says Covey. "Some of these decisions you don't recover from or they are very hard to reverse. Most of the time kids aren't even aware that they are making fork-in-the-road decisions that will take them thousands of miles off path. All because of one little switch they could have made at age 16."
