Teens Fire Parents, As Teens Are Fired-Up On New Book: Brain Snacks For Teens On The Go
Teenager Alex Southmayd has just released his new book: Brain Snacks for Teens of the Go! 50 Smart Ideas to Turbo-Charge Your Life, the first self-empowerment book for teens by a teen, published by Cognosco Learning.
- (1888PressRelease) December 06, 2010 - Rather than having to rely on conscientious parents, teenagers can rely on a fellow 17-year old for advice presented in a nuanced different fashion. In each of his brain snacks/chapters, Alex offers up principles and honest thoughts about important adolescent subjects from acne, and SATS, to managing money and contributing to one's own community.
The author writes with a relaxed, young tone more likely to connect with teens than stern lessons from parents. However, the advice is the same and the adult education establishment clearly endorses Alex and his new book. As Sean Covey, author of the best-selling The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, says, "You will find much more than just friendly advice from a fellow teenager; you will find true nourishment for both body and soul." Clayton Jones, the chairman of a large education company Jones & Bartlett Learning, adds, "Brain Snacks for Teens on the Go! Is destined to be a valuable resource for all teens looking to cultivate and challenge their minds."
Alex carries this combination of real advice and teenage tone even into the technical aspects of the book. The author for example covers the difficult topic of teenagers and drugs in an upbeat positive approach. This handling of the issue, in Brain snacks about alcohol and drugs, gained the praise of Stephen Wallace, CEO and Chairman of Students against Destructive Decisions, who says "Brain Snacks provides young people with an inspiring, hands-on guide to navigating difficult decisions, making good, healthy choices, and finding ways to contribute to those around them."
With his new formula, Alex has created something completely new meant to reach out to all teenagers while reassuring parents that he is offering good advice. This unique book therefore seems poised to be a Christmas favorite bringing together all the family.
The book is available in both paperback and E-book format from BarnesandNoble.com and Amazon.com, (the E-book can be downloaded to your Nook, Kindle, laptop, iPad, iPhone, iPod, or eReader).
