What professionals in the field are saying about the Become Your Best Self series:
|
 |
| What causes someone to write such inspired books? This work is the manifestation of an evolved soul. And that is exactly what Jennifer Freed is trying to do—help kids and adults evolve into their best selves—by focusing squarely on instilling emotional intelligence, compassion, etc. It is both sacred and practical. Compassion and Character are not just books, but a clear method, an affirmation, a way of looking at and living a better life. Each section can stand alone as a teaching module, and as a whole, it is incomparable. Compassion and Character should be in all schools, community centers and houses of worship to help students and participants reach beyond themselves. It is impossible not to be touched by the concrete techniques and the enlightened intentions one finds in these pages. For all ages...and definitely for a better world. Compassion and Character are jewels, ones that shine with clarity and purpose. |

| The pressing question of our time is “What can we do to save the world?” Here's one answer: get these workbooks into the hands of every teen you can. Buy these in bulk and give to shelters and nieces and nephews and schools. Do them with the teens in your life--this is the information so many of us never learned or never learned how to impart. Nothing short of brilliant and so very timely. |

| The Become Your Best Self series is a virtual treasure chest of powerful challenges to our limited and negative ways of looking at life, others, and ourselves. What a brilliant gift this is to teens! |

| What a joy to find the Become Your Best Self series for adolescents and their families. No household, middle school, or high school teacher should be without these stimulating interactive guidebooks which offer courses in moral development, diversity training, relationship skills, emotional identification and creativity. They teach teenagers how to explore their feelings and not be overrun by them. The world would be a more compassionate place if each individual followed Freed's lead. |

Throughout our lives we should reflect upon our values, goals, priorities, relationships, and behavior. The adolescent years are especially ripe for such reflection as teenagers journey from their childhood to adult lives. The Become Your Best Self workbook series by Dr. Jennifer Freed and Amanda Lake offers a rich array of questions and exercises for adolescents to consider as they examine with honesty their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. It challenges teens to modify those attitudes and actions that are counterproductive and lessen satisfaction in different areas of their lives. Parents as well as professionals who work with adolescents will find this workbook series an excellent resource whether to benefit family harmony and/or to facilitate counseling endeavors. |
