I found it helpful for setting goals and kicking the occasional case of the blues. For a while, I read a snippet every morning upon awakening--it certainly gave me a "can do" attitude!

By listing stories and providing quotes about success, teens who read the book, can identify themselves with the people they read about and aspire to become like them. It is a success in itself!

A superb book, indeed!
