Everything starts and ends in your mind. How your mind works determines how happy you are, how successful you feel, and how well you interact with other people. The patterns of your mind encourage you toward greatness or they cause you to flounder in mediocrity or worse. Learning how to focus and direct your mind is the most important ingredient of success. Mind Coach is a manual that will teach children and teens "thinking skills" that will help them be more effective in their day-to-day lives.

This review is from: Mind Coach: How to Teach Children & Teenagers to Think Positive & Feel Good (Paperback)

The manual is appropriate for younger students and older students who are still challenged with cognitive skills useful in everyday life. Format is that of a children's book and younger children can relate to the media layout. In an age of low self-esteem and non-nuturing environments thinking positive and feeling good about oneself can only enhance a child's outlook on life and affects the manner in which he/she relates to others. This book assists in helping children gain insights into the positive effects the brain can promote in the areas of positive emotions and self-concept.

This review is from: Mind Coach: How to Teach Children & Teenagers to Think Positive & Feel Good (Paperback)

I was very disappointed in the book. It was a book for little kids, not for teenagers. It is a badly shaped book and a lot of wasted space. I returned it. It does not compare to the other books by Daniel Amen that are excellent. The information in this book acan be found in other books by Amen

This is a good book for kids, though I think there should be less review of the negative thoughts and more focus on what they could be thinking about instead. Kids need examples of positives in their lives, and also how their thinking effects their daily lives. We need more books like this, and stronger.
