Another Homerun! In TheLife Guide For Teens, Dr. Ran Anbar once again displays his exceptional ability to communicate, teach, and inspire. Dr. Anbar has discovered a literary formula: he presents psychological principles in an enticing way to a population not always eager to learn from grown-ups. And he simultaneously helps parents better read the road signs of adolescence. His suggestions, both psychological and behavioral, are always spot-on. A must-read for all ages!

Dr. Anbar distills decades of experience working with teens into this excellent compendium of self-help techniques written just for them. The perspectives, tools, and stories contained within its pages can empower teens to fortify their mental health and enhance their resilience. As an integrative pediatrician who teaches children to harness the power of their minds in positive ways, I love to share this book with my own teen patients!

I wish I could have had this book to recommend to teens during my 50-year career in clinical pediatrics. Dr. Anbar speaks to them in a conversational, direct, practical and optimistic way. In his unique, engaging fashion, he reveals that he understands their predicaments, respects their resilience, and empowers them to make self-directed and beneficial changes. His words comprise a library of ideas, guided imagery, and language tools from which they can choose as they encounter challenging situations.

In The Life Guide for Teens, Dr. Anbar has taken his vast experience in caring for adolescents (and raising some too!) to a new and unique dimension. This delightfully easy-to-read, accessible book will grab and engage teens. Each new chapter begins with a real patientrsquo;s case story and is followed by tools that are easy to learn and do-able right away. Equally importantly, each chapter includes ldquo;Teen to Teenrdquo; advice from other adolescents with similar problems and insightful notes for parents. Each chapter thus reminds teens to talk with parents and parents to talk with their teens ndash; advice of inestimable value.

Irsquo;ve known Dr. Anbar for over 30 years and watched the amazing care he gives kids through teaching them mind/body regulation techniques and about self-actualization. He is now sharing his learnings and teachings in an easy-to-read format to help teens and their families with practical tips to deal with their stress, pain, and overall health. This is a great resource for everyone who knows a teen, with practical advice for people of all ages.
