Synopsis

Why do some people accomplish so much more than others? It’s not because they’re smarter or more talented. It’s because they know how to set and reach goals. Research shows that effective goal setters have less stress and anxiety, concentrate better, and are more satisfied with their lives. For teens, goal setting is linked to improved school performance, motivation, self-confidence, and self-esteem. What Do You Really Want? is a step-by-step guide to goal setting, written especially for teens. Each chapter includes fun, creative exercises, practical tips, words of wisdom from famous “goal-getters,” real-life examples from teens, and success stories. Readers learn how to articulate their goals and put them in writing (a key to success), set priorities and deadlines, overcome obstacles, cope with roadblocks, build a support system, use positive self-talk, celebrate their successes, and more. Upbeat and inspiring, this book is a must for all teens. It’s also recommended for parents, teachers, youth workers, counselors, and other caring adults.

Reviews

Gr. 6-12. Successful business entrepreneur Bachel has compiled her ideas into an approachable volume to assist teens in defining their real interests, formulating and systematically pursuing workable goals, and celebrating their achievements. She also includes 19 useful, reproducible forms (and a reminder never to write in books from the library). Her helpful advice is well supported by quotations from teens who have tried some of the techniques, and simple, appealing graphics keep things light. Perhaps most effective are the chapter-closing "Think It & Ink It" questions intended to help teens act on Bachel's clear, often heartfelt suggestions. Back matter includes goal-setting resources and some helpful organizations and Web sites. Roger Leslie
