Learning to be self-aware is a crucial life skill.

But for many teens, this important part of their social and emotional learning can be overlooked. This book provides young people with the essential tools they need to better understand their thoughts, emotions, and actions.

Readers learn how using ten key skills can help people become more self-aware within friendships and families and also at school, college, work, and in the wider community. The book provides teen case studies that highlight how using self-awareness skills helps people overcome problems and shows readers how they can work on these skills too. Recaps of tools discussed in each chapter are provided, along with studies into teen mental health that highlight why self-awareness is a key life skill.
