This book was a must read for me. Even though I am not a teen girl, I have often experienced the pressures of balancing, school, work, family, friends, and normal problems that come along with being a teenager. Trying to squeeze in surviving the social jungle is a challenge in itself, but with Donna Dale Carnegie's HOW TO WIN FRIENDS & INFLUENCE PEOPLE FOR TEEN GIRLS, it totally doesn't have to be.
In How to Win Friends and Influence People for Teen Girls, Donna Dale Carnegie, daughter of the late motivational author and teacher Dale Carnegie, brings her father's time-tested, invaluable lessons to the newest generation of young women on their way to becoming savvy, self-assured friends and leaders.
The book offers concrete advice on teen topics such as peer pressure, gossip, and popularity.
Teen girls, and people who sometimes act like teen girls, will learn the most powerful ways to influence others, defuse arguments, admit mistakes, and make self-defining choices. The Carnegie techniques promote clear and constructive communication, praise rather than criticism, emotional sensitivity, tolerance, and a positive attitude -- important skills for every one to develop at an early age.
Of course, no book for teen girls would be complete without taking a look at how to maintain friendships with boys and deal with commitment issues and break-ups with boyfriends. Carnegie also provides solid advice for older teens beginning to explore their influence in the adult world, such as driving and handling college interviews.
Full of fun quizzes, "reality check" sections, and true-life examples, How to Win Friends and Influence People for Teen Girls offers every teenage girl candid, insightful, and timely advice on how to influence friends in a positive manner.
It's one of the best non-fiction books I've ever read. This is an easy read, and it changed my life in terms of my social interactions.
I really wish I had it back in middle school in high school so I could have had a lot more friends!
One Hundred Stars!!!!
