I have another Chicken Soup for the Soul book to giveaway.  I just love these books especially since the stories are short I can just read one or two at a time.

This book is called Chicken Soup for the Soul “Extraordinary Teens”. I would not want to be a teenager now a days, it was hard enough when I was one but the pressures of today’s teens seems so much worse than it was years ago.  I do not look forward to the teen years with my girls and I’m glad I have a ways to go.

In today’s difficult world, teens may need a little help maintaining a positive outlook and reaching for the stars. To help them reach their full potential, what could be better than a collection of stories from successful and “cool” young adults who speak the right language and pass on their secrets to success?

Product Information:

This book, Extraordinary Teens, is about personal stories and advice from today’s most inspiring youth with tales of teenagers achieving great success. This book includes personal stories from many well-known young professional athletes, business entrepreneurs, motivational speakers, actors, writers, and filmmakers. Every person shares his or her story along with priceless advice that will show you how you too, can achieve something extraordinary.  Each story describes the specific turning points, challenges, and breakthroughs that shaped and motivated these individuals to accomplish incredible things.  Learn from these individuals who are walking examples of possibility.

Some of the famous teens that are featured in this book are Anna Kournikova, Ryan Cabrera, Donald Trump, Jr. and Timmy Reyes as well as other notable teen athletes, actors, writers, filmmakers, motivational speakers, artists, executives, visionaries, activists and humanitarians tell their tales of how and why they do it. A special inspirational story by Sean Covey, author of best-selling The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, leads off the book.
