This isn't really a review. This is more of a rant. I enjoyed this book until I got to the "dating and sex" chapter. It angers me so much that the only thing he was saying in here is "SEX IS BAD AND YOU SHOULDN'T DO IT IF YOU'RE A TEEN OR YOU AREN'T MARRIED. ABSTINENCE OR REGRET IT" and that makes me so angry. I literally had to force myself to read the whole chapter, and I still ended up throwing it against the wall and screaming with rage and fury.

Yes, abstinence can be a good thing, and a good decision as well, but if there are teens having sex (which I'm not against) then you should educate them about knowing if they're ready or not, contraceptions, and whatever else, instead of shoving chastity bread down their throats. ...moreJul 11, 2008
I'm reading 6 desicions! :DJun 28, 2015
My mom bought me this when I was about 15. It was utterly pointless. Covey tries way too hard to sound like "one of the cool kids." He tried, and failed, to be your understanding friend. It was embarrassing. I had to read 7 Habits the summer before the 8th grade, and I hated that book. This one wasn't much better. I completely understand where he is coming from, and I know that being a teen sucks and is full of difficult decisions, but he assumes that most teens think the same way.

His thought processes in writing this book did not come anywhere close to matching mine. His commentary, honestly, was not helpful to teen me. 6 most important decisions? Ha! I'm almost 21 now, and I still have not been in some of these situations. Most of this book did not apply to my teenage years whatsoever. ...moreMar 27, 2010
I absolutely love this book. These types of self-help books are what we need nowadays, since we all think we're the best people out there-- but in reality, we never are perfect. We human beings are naturally flawed, and as long as we try to improve on those faults, we are becoming better than we were before we tried. So that being said, this book is a great guide in helping us with becoming a more adequate teenager.Jul 16, 2009
This is the kind of book every teenager should have. It is colorful, eye-catching on every page, fun to read, and very blunt.May 14, 2009
My oldest daughter is about to turn 11, so I am preparing for middle school and the teen years ahead. While I think she is still too young to read this book on her own, I think it will be very valuable in a couple of years. The author takes you through six decisions (school, friends, parents, dating & sex, addictions, and self-worth) that will make or break a teen's future. He does a good job explaining the benefits of taking the "high road" and gives tips on how to do so. A worthwhile read.Nov 21, 2011
Maybe I read this book a tad too late in my life for my liking. I think I was around 15 when some school shrink thought it was cool to make us buy & read the book.I didn't like it, not at all.Feb 21, 2010
It felt too watered down life lessons, like i was in my high school seminar.Jan 24, 2014
This book was completely inapplicable to me. Not all teenagers think alike. Obviously, Covey overlooked the exceptions.Mar 03, 2014
This is like, one of the stupidest books ever. IT IS SO DAMN CHEESY. School chapter is nice, but sex, addictions and confidence chapters are awful. He obviously doesn't know anything about teenagers and I somehow have this feeling that he thinks that all teens are idiots, and the book refers to american lifestyle all the time... Sex chapter killed me. I almost thought that catholic church wrote that.. I could sum it up : 'SEX IS BAD DON'T DO THAT BEFORE MARRIAGE YOU'LL GET PREGNANT AND/OR GET This is like, one of the stupidest books ever. IT IS SO DAMN CHEESY.

The Six Most Important Decisions you’ll Ever Make was definitely worth reading. Written for teens, it was witty, friendly, and very straightforward. My favorite of the decisions were the “Friends†and “Parents†sections because the author talked a lot about putting yourself in the shoes of the person you’re talking to. I found that this particular method worked very well when I was talking to my parents, because we have very different perspectives on certain parts of life.

Well, the author's purpose of writing this book is to give people an idea on what decisions that they will have to make as a teenager. So, the subject that the author suggests is that there are six decisions that you'll have to make as a teenager to become successful in life. The author's point of view from the book is that he takes his views from his past and he also takes other people's views from all over the world and expresses their feelings on these six decisions you'll have to make as a Well, the author's purpose of writing this book is to give people an idea on what decisions that they will have to make as a teenager.

The author's point of view from the book is that he takes his views from his past and he also takes other people's views from all over the world and expresses their feelings on these six decisions you'll have to make as a teenager. The author uses very informational writings that each decision talks about and making an arguement about each one as well, but very true arguments about the decisions. Sean Covey wrote this book to target young teenagers that are in middle school (junior high), and in high school. This did this because as we finish high school, we begin to go out in the real world and begin our lives as people of society.May 17, 2017
I thought it was very well written. I like how each decision was put split up into chapters. I like all of the lessons and the advice the author gives in the book. I actually feel like I've learned some new ways of dealing with certain situations in my life as a teenager. I feel like all teenagers and parents of teenagers need to read this book. I also think this should be read in all schools worldwide.Jul 12, 2009
My daughter loves this book. She still reads it from like four years ago. Awesome book!Jan 15, 2012
A really good book but Sean has better books. More of the western style decisions which I couldn't learn from.Mar 07, 2011
i only read some of the sections but they really helped me in descovering my own personJul 13, 2009
Another great book!!! Covey is great! Another title every teen should read!!!Apr 23, 2009
Every teen/young adult should read this book. It just makes sense!Aug 07, 2010
For younger Tweens the chapter on friends is right up their alley. I have this as a reference book that we can go back to as mom and son as things come up. This next stage in their lives is soo important to get right from my end and from his.Dec 04, 2008
ihave read this and its about how there is always about a new chapter about how your life and the most important decisoipns and it all makes sense to me and it just proves that there are some really interesting facts in there as well!Mar 30, 2008
I purchased this book last night and I can't take myself away from it! It gets soooo addicting!Sep 28, 2016
I was forced to read this book by my Social Studies/ELA because we were a lighthouse school and we needed to know are habits and how to apply the habits to our life. After a while, I really liked the book because the book helped me prepare myself for the future as I get older,and teach me things I don't know but needed too. If you asked me how much I liked the book I would tell you I liked it because it really prepared me for whats to come in the future. I would recommend this book to all those I was forced to read this book by my Social Studies/ELA because we were a lighthouse school and we needed to know are habits and how to apply the habits to our life.
