Learning to manage well-being and work habits is as fundamental to life success as knowing how to read, write, and solve problems. To make improvements, of course, some effort is necessary. However, trying harder can become exhausting and discouraging. There is a better way to launch the beliefs and behaviors that lead to independence.
Did you know that it's not how hard you try that leads to success? It's how you try harder that matters most.
Based on decades of well-being and productivity research, this newly updated edition of Unleash Your Epic Self helps adolescents and young adults establish resilience and self-direction skills while also nurturing strengths, relationships, and habits to support school, work, and life goals. Inside you'll find seven well-being and productivity sections. Each one guides you through five easy-to-accomplish weekly practices-35 in all. Use the practices alone or with a group. Each section also has space to reflect on and extend your learning.
