Overview

A new kind of self-help book for teenagers, empowering them to take ownership of their own wellness. Today’s generation of teenagers are living in a world no one could have imagined just a couple decades ago, a world of social media and an endless flow of information (and disinformation). They are also more likely to be lonely, depressed, stressed out, and diagnosed with mental health issues than any generation before them. But they can learn to take control of their own wellness—and Dr. Ran Anbar gives them the tools to do just that. In The Life Guide for Teens: Harnessing Your Inner Power to be Healthy, Happy, and Confident, Dr. Anbar uses clear, empowering terms to take a deep dive into the most prevalent wellness concerns for teens. He guides readers through such topics as anxiety, relationships, sleep, making tough decisions, and communicating effectively with easy-to-implement tools and advice from experts and teens who’ve been there. Throughout, he offers encouragement, reassurance, and strength to teens who are struggling, showing them how they can develop a positive, healthy self-image and promote self-care. Dr. Anbar has helped thousands of teens work through their personal challenges, not by solving their problems for them, but by helping them learn to tap into their inner wisdom, strength, and resilience. With 180 actionable tools teens can use on their personal journey to wellness, The Life Guide for Teens is an invaluable resource for anyone wanting to feel calm, capable, and confident.

The Life Guide for Teens is a wonderful new book. It provides teens with innovative, down-to-earth guidelines filled with examples and new skills for better, healthier, and more satisfying experiences in daily living. It is a resourceful treasure for teens, parents, teachers, and clinicians. --Moshe S. Torem, MD, distinguished life fellow of the American Psychiatric Association and professor of psychiatry at Northeast Ohio Medical University The Life Guide for Teens is truly an all-encompassing playbook for living a stable and satisfying life. --Brandon Joe, co-founder of Treasure Hacks The Life Guide for Teens: Harnessing Your Inner Power to be Healthy, Happy, and Confident, with its insightful overview and practical tips for teens and parents alike, has the potential to be a beacon of invaluable empowerment. --Dandan Pan, founder of Haddee Education Another Homerun! In TheLife Guide For Teens, Dr. Ran Anbar once again displays his exceptional ability to communicate, teach, and inspire. Dr. Anbar has discovered a literary formula: he presents psychological principles in an enticing way to a population not always eager to learn from grown-ups. And he simultaneously helps parents better read the road signs of adolescence. His suggestions, both psychological and behavioral, are always spot-on. A must-read for all ages! --Lewis J. Kass, MD, FAAP, Section Chief, Pediatric Pulmonology, Sleep Medicine and Clinical Hypnosis, Valley Mount Sinai Health Paramus Dr. Anbar distills decades of experience working with teens into this excellent compendium of self-help techniques written just for them. The perspectives, tools, and stories contained within its pages can empower teens to fortify their mental health and enhance their resilience. As an integrative pediatrician who teaches children to harness the power of their minds in positive ways, I love to share this book with my own teen patients! --Marina Capella, MD, MEd, Healing Arts Pediatrics I wish I could have had this book to recommend to teens during my 50-year career in clinical pediatrics. Dr. Anbar speaks to them in a conversational, direct, practical and optimistic way. In his unique, engaging fashion, he reveals that he understands their predicaments, respects their resilience, and empowers them to make self-directed and beneficial changes. His words comprise a library of ideas, guided imagery, and language tools from which they can choose as they encounter challenging situations. --F. Ralph Berberich, MD, FAAP, author of How to Be a Good Doctor in Under in Hour and co-author of The Available Pediatrician I've known Dr. Anbar for over 30 years and watched the amazing care he gives kids through teaching them mind/body regulation techniques and about self-actualization. He is now sharing his learnings and teachings in an easy-to-read format to help teens and their families with practical tips to deal with their stress, pain, and overall health. This is a great resource for everyone who knows a teen, with practical advice for people of all ages. --Cheryl Beighle, MD, Integrative Pediatrician In The Life Guide for Teens, Dr. Anbar has taken his vast experience in caring for adolescents (and raising some too!) to a new and unique dimension. This delightfully easy-to-read, accessible book will grab and engage teens. Each new chapter begins with a real patient's case story and is followed by tools that are easy to learn and do-able right away. Equally importantly, each chapter includes ""Teen to Teen"" advice from other adolescents with similar problems and insightful notes for parents. Each chapter thus reminds teens to talk with parents and parents to talk with their teens - advice of inestimable value. --Daniel P. Kohen, MD, FAAP, Director, Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics program; Professor, Departments of Pediatrics and Family Medicine & Community Health, University of Minnesota (retired)
