Top Picks: Teen Self-Help

Instead of putting pressure on yourself to keep New Year's resolutions, why not see January as a fresh start at taking better care of yourself? Winter often leaves us feeling tired and emotionally drained, but it can also be a quiet time for reflection. Here are our top picks for teen self-help books.

Taking care of yourself means treating yourself with kindness. All too often teens criticize themselves way more harshly than they would anyone else. How to Like Yourself provides exercises to help you build self-esteem and turn off the nagging voice of self-doubt in your head.

Wouldn't it be great to find productive ways to manage the pressures of your daily life? Transforming Stress for Teens describes breathing techniques and communication skills that can calm you down during anxiety-inducing situations.

It's tough to think of a topic that causes more stress for teens than S.E.X. That's why you need this updated reference manual that covers every topic you can imagine. It's rare to find a sex ed book this comprehensive, accurate, nonjudgmental and inclusive of all types of people.

Once you've conquered your inner critic, stress and the birds and the bees, it's time to plan for the future. Written by a teen entrepreneur and inspirational speaker, You Got This! focuses on transforming your creativity into career opportunities.
