A STILL QUIET PLACE FOR TEENS

27 percent of teens feel “extreme stress,” which impacts their family life, friendships, learning, general functioning, and overall health.

Teens experience stress—and is it any wonder? They're juggling schoolwork, friendships, and countless other activities, plus receiving endless messages every day—texts from friends; advice from family and teachers; and images from television, social media, and advertising about who they could and should be. Being a teen in today's fast-paced, media-saturated world is difficult, and it's easy for them to get overwhelmed and stressed out. Sometimes they just need a place to unwind and be themselves!

A Still Quiet Place for Teens is a breakthrough workbook that will help teens balance their emotions, stay focused, and find a place of peace and calm—the natural quietness within. In this guide, mindfulness expert Amy Saltzman offers a comprehensive program to help teens manage daily stressors and challenges in life—whether at home, in school, or with friends. Using proven-effective mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) techniques, this book will help readers be fully present in the moment, cultivate kindness, and find constructive ways of dealing with the pressures of being a teen.
