Description
"You can master adulthood before you get there or wait for it to master you. Which will you choose?
We all love a good hack. That one piece of advice that cuts straight to the heart of a problem and shows you how to handle it with ease. But don’t let the title fool you - reducing this wisdom to mere “hacks” would be a massive disservice.
You’re about to uncover a treasure trove of insight: 88 of the best tips, tricks, and techniques to launch you from teendom to adulthood with resounding success. And don’t worry - you won’t lose yourself along the way. You won’t have to trade your joy, curiosity, or spark. You won’t have to become “boring” - or bored. You’ll simply be one step ahead of the game.
Here you’ll find an inspired and well-researched collection of advice you can turn to repeatedly as you pave your distinct path into the future.
Inside this unique resource, you’ll discover:
● 88 game-changing life hacks, numbered and arranged by category so you can come back to them time and time again
● How to save time and energy at school while taking control of your environment and gaining all the benefits of your education
● Why you should ‘eat the frog’ (and how you don’t have to chow down on a single amphibian to do this)
● The secret to building and maintaining good relationships – and why this will be important throughout your whole life
● Fresh and unique kitchen tips, regardless of experience level
● Multiple ways to improve your memory (even while you sleep)
● How money is energy (and how to use that to your advantage) – complete with essential financial literacy skills you’ll never learn in school
● Why you should ‘be more buffalo’ – what this means, and how to come out the other side of any challenge quicker than most people
● The mind hacks that will set the stage for a lifetime of growth and self-realization
● Everything you didn’t know you needed to know about cars and driving
● Timeless principles to take forward into the working world
And much more.
This isn’t the advice you’re used to from parents and teachers. This is the stuff you need to ace the game of life.
Hack your way to success one nugget of wisdom at a time.

Praise from other book
"Building Unstoppable Self-Confidence for Teens is a candid, conversational guide to navigating adolescence that comes from a place of hard-won wisdom and deep compassion. Derek T Freeman offers practical strategies for overcoming negative thinking, finding purpose, and embracing opportunities for growth—and shares examples from his own struggles (bullying, body shame, difficulty fitting in, etc.) to show that he has been there, and he does get it. Growing pains are inevitable, but we're never quite as alone as we feel. Opening this book is like entering a safe space; there's no judgment or pressure—and the author is your coach, your confidant, and your biggest fan. Get it ... and get empowered!"" — John B. Valeri, Author, Book Critic & Host of the web series Central Booking
""Freeman breaks down the difference between self-esteem (how you FEEL about yourself) and self-confidence (your belief in your ABILITIES), from body image to bullies, mindfulness, self-discovery inventories, health, hygiene, safety, popularity, social media/influences, and more. Each section is packed with conversations and 'hacks' to being one's best self—mindfulness, gratitude journals, lists, and more. BUILDING UNSTOPPABLE SELF-CONFIDENCE FOR TEENS is a warm, supportive pep-talk from a coach/friend/big brother/uncle/dad for both guys and gals—and their parents (who may have forgotten what it's like)."" — Leslie A. Lindsay, Creator & Host of the award-winning author interview series Always with a Book"

I received an advanced reader’s copy thanks to net galley in exchange for an honest review.
This was a good easy read for me, and I have a kid about to enter high school this coming year. It reminded me of kinda a teen version of Essentialism (Mckewn) and Atomic Habits . It had a ton of useable information that could be adapted for adults as well. It was a solid read and I’ll encourage my kid to read it as well

My Teenage Daughter Loved This Book !!!!
A good sharp to the point book on how to hack teenage life, she read this within a day and started applying some off the hacks to day to day life at home, she noted down the hacks for school which she thinks are going to help her in the new school year and has taken a welcome interest in her finances too.
The stories that come along with some of the hacks really help make the connection between the hack and how it can change/ impact a situation, which she particularly loved while reading and while telling her friends about the book it they helped there understanding more.
I will definitely be adding this book into my Christmas presents this year !!!

This book was super helpful, it had a lot of good tips to help high schoolers like me thrive! It was also fun and entertaining, so I didn't get bored reading it, either.

as a parent of 5 kids, 3 of which have already graduated, one currently a sophomore, and one that will be in high school in a blink of an eye, this book had some amazing helpful strategies that would have been helpful to have had before! my daughter currently enrolled reviewed the hacks with me and we felt most of them were useful. must have for parents in high school, honestly maybe even middle school!
