Change the Way You See Everything Through Asset-Based Thinking for Teens is a book that can change your teen's life. This is the third book in a series of Asset-Based thinking books. The first was written for people in business and the second for adults in their personal life. The authors, Kathryn Cramer and Hank Wasiak, decided that their Asset-Based way of looking at everything differently would be perfect for teens and published this third book to their series.


I am not a big fan of self help books in general, so I was a bit skeptical when I began reading Asset-Based Thinking for Teens. I read through the entire book in one seating and was amazed. The book helped me.

The philosophy of the book is very simple. It teaches your teen (and you) to put a positive spin on everything, rather than looking at the negative side of things. The authors make that easier to do by giving concrete examples of specific situations.

Change the Way You See Everything Through Asset-Based Thinking for Teens has chapters on three different areas of life:
  1. Change the way you see you - The deeper you look the more you find.
  2. Change the way you see relationships - Relating is an attitude and an action.
  3. Change the way you see responsibilities - How things turn out depends on how you tune in.
The authors have also set up a website abtteen.com with some additional tips and tools for teens. You can also learn more about the Asset-Based approach on this site. I highly recommend giving this book a try. It is written at a level that even the youngest teens can read and understand, however it is appropriate for any age. If you really put into motion the lessons from this book, and change the way you look at everything, you will be happier. Could your teens use this?

    I love Change the Way You See Yourself For Teens and it's great that you've blogged about it. I know so many people who's lives have been changed by Asset-Based Thinking. I'm glad Kramer and Wasiak have written a book for teens.

    That looks like a great book for teenagers. I don't know if things have changed much since I was a teen, but negativity runs pretty high at that age for some, and it would be great to focus finding happiness towards that age group, something that doesn't seem to be a priority for the education system.

    Thanks for the feature and positive words about our teen book. In writing this book, Kathy and I have become inspired and motivated by teens and are passionate advocates for their power, purpose and potential. They can be our next "greatest generation". Keep up the great work that you do on "Connect With Your Teen" and I look forward to following you.
