Hello! And welcome to The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens Interactive eWorkbook. This eWorkbook allows you to build on the principles of the 7 Habits through various thought-provoking mental exercises and interactives. Whether you are already familiar with Covey’s Habits or are newcomers to his path to teenage success, you can immerse yourself in this eWorkbook at your own pace and benefit from its positive messages and lessons. In this interactive volume, you’ll will find in-depth tools to improve self-esteem, build friendships, resist peer pressure, achieve goals, get along with parents, and strengthen yourself in many other areas. So let’s begin.
How to use this book:
Throughout the eWorkbook you will find a button called: MyNotes. This button is a live text pad that will enable you to keep track of all your thoughts throughout the book while you partake in the exercises. Simply tap on the button and watch as a text pad comes up. Once the text pad pops up, you can begin the exercises.
Each text pad comes with 3 different actions you can perform:
• Highlight
• Delete
• Write
These actions will allow you to interact with the eWorkbook as you progress through the 7 Habits. Additionally, some exercises will ask you to mark off if you have completed an assignment. To do this, use the + and - icons within the notes feature.

Personal Expectations:
From reading The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, I hope to be able to:
| Achieve Greatness | MyNotes |
| Improve Myself | MyNotes |
| Face Issues I’ve Struggles With | MyNotes |
| All of the Above | MyNotes |
Something to think about:
Did you check All of the Above? If you did, great job! That is the sort of positive thinking that leads to success. However, if you were hesitant, it is okay. But now think of what caused your hesitation.
GET IN THE HABIT
Now think the opposite way:
What is the opposite of responsibility? Without responsibility is it possible to define your goal in life? Do you think it is beneficial to do the most important things first? Or is it a waste of time? How would life be if you lived it with an everyone-should-lose attitude? Rather than listening to people and their views, you simply ignore them. Instead of working together, you hinder yourself by limiting your success. Does any of this make sense? After living a day with this mentality would you want to renew yourself?
The opposite way of thinking is always worth considering, but at the end of the day, living with an opposite mindset of the 7 Habits does not make you, it breaks you.
PARADIGMS AND PRINCIPLES
What You See is What You Get
Paradigm (n): The way you think about and see things.
With this definition in mind, let’s play a game.
Close your eyes and think of your favorite genre of music.
Try to listen to it in your head.
Using the notes feature on your device or your scratch paper, mark down what is it about this type of music that speaks to you?
Once you’ve come to terms with why you are drawn to this sound, put this book down and go speak with your parents, siblings and friends. Find out their opinions on music.
Did your paradigm change after listening to the paradigms of others?
“Paradigms are like glasses. When you have incomplete paradigms about yourself or life in general, it’s like wearing glasses with the wrong prescription.”
- Sean Covey
