Reviews for The Motivation Mindset Workbook: Helping Teens and Tweens Discover What They Love to Do

“The authors approach motivation from different perspectives--all research based--and provide practical activities for a range of ages. I appreciate the emphasis on encouraging teens and tweens to identify their own interests, strengths, and values, rather than solely trying to meet others’ expectations. I recommend this book for parents, caregivers, and any young person who could use help overcoming barriers to success.”--Hilary Adams, PhD, Clinical Director, Therapy Lab Kids -
