The Art of Being a Brilliant Teenager [EPUB ebook] 

Calling all teenagers–quit the moaning and start
loving life!

Don’t be a cliché. Don’t stay in your bedroom grunting and
grumbling. How about getting motivated, energized and start making
a difference?! The Art of Being A Brilliant Teenager teaches
you how to become your very best self–and how to figure out
who that is, exactly. The bestselling authors of The Art of
Being Brilliant and Be Brilliant Everyday are experts in
the art of happiness and positive psychology and, with this new
book, you’ll find your way to becoming brilliant at school, work,
and life in general. Stay cool under all the pressures you’re
facing, and plot a map for the future that takes you wherever it is
you want to go. Become proactive, determined, successful and most
importantly: happy!

Fact: your life span is about four thousand weeks. It seems like
a lot, but it’s not. Complaining about life, homework, parents, and
relationships may be normal now, but don’t let it become your
defining trait. When you’re forty years old and still moaning, a
big chunk of your four thousand weeks have slipped by, and you’re
no closer to happiness than you were as a teen. This book is a
guide to starting the journey to your ideal life now,
instead of wasting time being a drip.

* Discover the real you, and what you want out of life

* Stop moaning and get moving now, while there’s plenty of
time

* Lose your bad habits before they become your personality

* Figure out how you want to contribute, and find a way to do
it

The bottom line is this: it’s easy to be the average version of
yourself, but is that really all you want? Don’t you want to
achieve something? Get started now. The Art of Being A Brilliant
Teenager helps you figure out where you want to go, and how to
get there. So, whether you’re an ambitious teenager, a parent or
teacher desperate to turn a down-beat teenager into a ray of
positivity and delight, How to Be a Brilliant Teenager is
here to help.
