Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

There's a lie told about teenagers - that they're un-finished. Half-baked. A work in progress. Not ready yet.It isn't true. The teenage years aren't a holding pattern before real life begins. They're the years when a person builds the habits, the friendships, the way of handling money and setbacks and their own mind, that they'll carry for decades. What gets built now tends to stay built. The teenage years are the ones when you become the person you will be remembered for.The trouble is that almost none of it is taught. So this book gathers what usually gets left out - thirty-nine secrets, drawn from research where research exists, from thirty years of standing in front of teenagers, and from fourteen documented lives of people who learned these things the hard way.Not the tidy versions. The real ones. Louis Braille invented a way to read at fifteen and died before the world accepted it. Barbara Johns changed a nation's law at sixteen and paid for it for the rest of her life. Michael Jordan was never actually cut from his team - and the book shows you how to check a famous story instead of just repeating it. And Lance Armstrong is here too, because a book that only showed you the comebacks would be lying.Inside, a teenager - or the parent or teacher standing beside one - will find: - Why the teenage brain is doing something extraordinary right now, and what the science actually shows (and doesn't) - How focus really works in a world built to break it - The money habits the wealthiest families quietly taught their children - How to read people, build real friendships, and recognise the rare person who isn't safe - The difference between a "no" that means prove it and a "no" that means stopEvery secret ends with three questions worth arguing about - at least one of which you're allowed to reject - and one small thing to try. Where the book states a fact, it tells you where it came from. Where it gives an opinion, it says so.And at the very end, a bonus chapter: the three writers who taught the author how to be free. The chapter is numbered 42, and it means something.This is not another list of a hundred hacks. It's the book that treats you as someone who can handle the truth.
