Such a wonderful book。 It is motivational in a different way。 One must read it once in their period。

got through this book super quick because it was very entertaining and amusing but most importantly it taught me a lot of important things about life。 if you’re a teenagers i would recommend this as your first self help book because it covers the basics， it’s not really self help but more like key life lessons， but either way i think it’s great as your first。

I was lucky enough to have been gifted this book， and safe to say I have absolutely loved it！ It has made me so motivated to start studying again and make something out of my life！ I would highly recommend this to all teenagers - as it will be beneficial to everyone。I read this in one day - and it was a very easy read， with jokes and information that keeps you hooked and wanting to learn more！

This book really motivated me to have a better lifestyle， and all of the challenges and quotes help to keep me interested in being my best self。 This book moved me out of the classic “school is rubbish” mindset that people have rubbed on to me and changed it into a “sometimes school is boring， but it is useful so I should put effort into it” mindset。 I would recommend to anyone who thinks of tasks as a labour， I don’t even think you need to be a teenager to understand some of the messages。

This book was an amazing read because it was fun to read but it also had reassuring messages in it and every time I laughed， it made me to read more。 I also loved how there was quotes on almost every alternative page and my favourite quote was from Mae West it was ‘You only live once， but if you do it right， once is enough’。

A funny book， very colourful， and I think I would probably want to read it when I was 16。

What can I say about this book？ That is the question。。。 I found it humorous in places， full of relevant information for those coming of age and entertaining- all good qualities for a full five stars。 My only qualm was that it tried a bit too hard- it tried a bit too hard to be hip and funny。 A totally minor fault。 Four and a half stars。

Fabulous book， I read this before sharing with my daughter。 Great information to share about positivity， how to be kind， considerate and find your passion。Good for adults as well as kids。The only reason I didn’t give a 5* is there is some body shaming included that goes against the theme of what this book is about。 Being inclusive irrespective of shape， size， colour， ability etc should be encouraged。

The Art of Being a Brilliant Teenager is an informational book that is really funny， eye opening and helpful。 The book talks about how to get the best out of your teenage years and how to use them to help you become successful in life。 It discusses how mindset， hard work and being impatient can actually help you have a better adulthood if you use them to your strengths。 The book provides solutions on how to use these barriers to drive you further in life and work toward your future。 The Art of B The Art of Being a Brilliant Teenager is an informational book that is really funny， eye opening and helpful。 The book talks about how to get the best out of your teenage years and how to use them to help you become successful in life。 It discusses how mindset， hard work and being impatient can actually help you have a better adulthood if you use them to your strengths。 The book provides solutions on how to use these barriers to drive you further in life and work toward your future。 The Art of Being a Brilliant Teenager really shows how important your teenage years are， once you grow up and how shaping your attitude towards things now will benefit you in the long run。The book although it isn’t a novel does somewhat feature stories from the authors lives， Andrew Cope， Derrell Woodman， Amy Bradley and Andy Whittaker。 They talk about their experiences and how they used these barriers to push them forward which helped them succeed in life。 In the first few pages of the book， one of the authors talks about their life growing up。 They talk about having dreams and expectations for the future but having to wait for them。 They talk about how frustrating that was， how it isolated them from their family in a sense and how when they got out of school， they just expected it to happen as a result of this。 They then go on to talking about how when they left school it was just like the same thing again， stating， “I started work and it was equally grim。 I was paid but my money didn’t last long。” P。 X。 They go on to talk about how they didn’t enjoy their job and ended up just getting by。 How finally leaving school lead to basically the same thing， “And whomever had invented the week had mistakenly dived it into 5 working days and only 2 days off。” P。 X。The Art of Being a Brilliant Teenager talks about many topics including， the idea of ‘No’ that is drilled into our heads as our “first word”。 Other topics covered in the book include， being who you truly are， making sure you make the most out of now， how to get over bad habbits and how to carry yourself。 The book also contains quotes like， “I ordered a wakeup call the other day。 The phone range and a women’s voice said， ‘What the hell are you doing with your life。’” – Demetri Martin P。23。 The Art of Being a Brilliant Teenager includes so many metaphors， insightful activities and funny quotes that really make the information stick and makes you look at it in a new way。 I really enjoyed The Art of Being a Brilliant Teenager as I felt it gave me a new outlook on being a teenager and a new mindset on life。 The authors have written this book really well to engage the teenage brain and make it easy to take the information in without losing interest。 Every second page there is a quote joke or picture which helps keep the busy teenage mind intrigued。 These quotes， jokes and pictures keep you inspired so that you want to keep reading and not put the book down。 In addition， it also helps with making the information stick and for you to apply it to your daily life。I would recommend this book to any teenager epically those who find frustration in the lack of events or the time they have to wait。 I would also give this book to someone who is just entering their teenage years to help them make the most of them。 For teenagers who prefer to get out and do things and find reading unproductive or a waste of time， I would also recommend this book because as you are reading it you are learning about how you can improve your life and become more successful。 This was a really great book that I would recommend to any teenager I know。 。。。more

I am a teenager and was given this as a gift from my dad for Christmas。 I read it all in one day and， for the most part， enjoyed it。 There were some lessons and advise in the book that I will follow but also some that I will not。 There was some comments made that I disagreed with or that went against my view on the world， which is why my rating was only 3 stars， however I don't think this was a bad book - would recommend this to others。 I am a teenager and was given this as a gift from my dad for Christmas。 I read it all in one day and， for the most part， enjoyed it。 There were some lessons and advise in the book that I will follow but also some that I will not。 There was some comments made that I disagreed with or that went against my view on the world， which is why my rating was only 3 stars， however I don't think this was a bad book - would recommend this to others。 。。。more

I'm learning how to be a brilliant teenager now that I'm nearly 38！ Nah， I saw this at the library and figured， I'm always trying to get into teenager's heads as I write YA， so I may as well borrow this out。 It is a great book for teens， full of humour， honesty and a good kick in the bum。 For me， it was an entertaining reminder to keep following my heart and being myself。 You're never too old to keep that in mind。 I'm learning how to be a brilliant teenager now that I'm nearly 38！ Nah， I saw this at the library and figured， I'm always trying to get into teenager's heads as I write YA， so I may as well borrow this out。 It is a great book for teens， full of humour， honesty and a good kick in the bum。 For me， it was an entertaining reminder to keep following my heart and being myself。 You're never too old to keep that in mind。 。。。more

Quick， easy read and a great reminder of how to get the best out of our 4000 weeks。 Will be passing this around to all the teenagers in my life but it's a great read for their parents too。 Quick， easy read and a great reminder of how to get the best out of our 4000 weeks。 Will be passing this around to all the teenagers in my life but it's a great read for their parents too。 。。。more
