This is an excellent, albeit repetitive, summary of the science of motivation and its implications and applications for the unmotivated teen. Grounded in self-determination, mindset, and grit, the book does a great job of offering advice and helping parents understand important concepts and the rationale for the advice shared.

I am so glad I read this motivational book, not only for my daughter but for myself. I felt that this was right on the money!

Grit, goals and drive are the key ingredients for motivating my teenager. It’s our job as parents to be an active listener and help guide them in their decision making.

I felt this was very informative! I’d like to sit down with my daughter and write down some goals. Comparing sports was helpful as well!

If you’re experiencing troubles with giving your teen independence, read this! Guide them and find things that give them their drive and excel!

I’d like to thank the publisher and the author for this opportunity. All opinions are my own. Publication date Oct 31, 2024

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and as a mother to a teenager deeply immersed in video games, it came as a breath of fresh air during a time of personal doubt and parental frustration. It offered me a new perspective on my approach to parenting, introducing techniques and insights I’m excited to apply. More so, it reaffirmed the effectiveness of strategies I’m already using, like fostering autonomy and teaching the importance of facing the consequences of one’s actions. This validation has been a comforting reminder that perhaps I’m navigating motherhood more successfully than I feared. The book is well-organized, providing valuable insights that I’m eager to integrate into my parenting style. It’s a must-read for parents in similar situations, offering both innovative strategies and much-needed reassurance.
