Success for Teens: Real Teens Talk About Using the Slight Edge

Success for Teens is an amazing book. Through the use of many examples of how each step is applied in teens' lives, John Fleming has clearly outlined and bullet pointed steps to helping teens, and myself so also adults, to become successful in their lives. I received the book about 5 years ago and had used it to develop leadership program. After my computer crashed, I knew I had to get my hands on this book again. I'm glad Success magazine has made it free online source. Now, I run my youth leadership programs for Promised Youth International once again from the information provided in Success for Teens.

The Slight Edge is one of my all time favorite books. I wish I had read it before the hundreds of other personal development books I've read. The Slight Edge philosophy actually shows you how to implement the other personal development books in a way that helps you create success in your life.Success for Teens, a teenage version of The Slight Edge, breaks it down even further. I am reading it first before I give it to my children, and I can't recommend it enough! Although the examples the teens share will be more relatable to my kids, the feelings behind what they are sharing are universal.If you are looking to create a better life for yourself, or to give your kids a hand-up in helping them create success for themselves, I highly recommend this book.

Our son 10yrs old and daughter 15yrs old both are reading this book. We already see significant shifts in their mindset regarding how they approach their task. They both apply it their school work and chores;) After reading (daily), we sit down and ask what did they learn? Our son plays basketball and wants to get stronger. At first he could only do 5 push-ups. Now his goal is to do at least 36,000 by the end of the year. He said dad " if I do 100 push-ups a day, that's 3,000 a month. Wow I can do anything if I just do a little bit towards my goal every day!". Everyone in the family has bought in to this philosophy and we are so excited because we get more done, which leave us more time to just be together and have fun!

I love the book and I give this to my 13 years old, I hope this will help her as she growing up and I would love to give one for my other kid in college too. I feel this will help any age and is easy and simple to follow and understanding.

Loved the book The Slight Edge and wanted to share with my son and niece and they are getting valuable info from it that will hopefully resonate for life!

Having loved The Slight Edge, I was ecstatic to find a "kid's version," which I bought for both my son--who's still not yet old enough to fully comprehend its message--and my high-school-freshman niece. This book is invaluable in showing kids the importance of being conscientious, purposeful and not apathetic in life.In restrospect, had this book been available to me in my early teen years, I'm positive I would have been a considerably more "well adjusted" adult (both professionally and personally).

I read Slight Edge but gave this to my grand kids who are in high school in hopes to guide them to set up balanced life goals. I also felt a great read to show we truly should be grateful for all we have been given. Nice that this came from teens! Coming from teens make it more real and achievable. Thank you!

speaks a lot about GOD and religion. I wish i would have known that before i purchased it. all in all it was ok did deliver some good examples and lessons.
