In a world where there's a lot of talk about 'living your best life' and being your 'best self', The Art of Being a Brilliant Teenager shows you how.
The book has a strong academic underpinning (its DNA is taken from the author's PhD) but is written in a fun and non-patronising way. The Art of Being a Brilliant Teenager is a book that prepares young people for REAL life, hence it addresses modern issues of screen time and social media, as well as the teenage perennials of confidence, positivity, motivation and relationships.
The book is built on a rock solid foundation of wellbeing and human flourishing, but is quirky in tone and aesthetics. Dr Andy Cope's words are brilliantly brough to life by award winning illustrator, Amy Bradley. Described in the early pages as a 'spiritual windscreen wiper', the book includes activities and thought-provoking questions that encourage the user to interact with the material. Thus, there are spaces for writing, reflecting and journalling.

The book has a deliberately light touch but is not light-weight. It doesn't dodge the issues. In a world of rising anxiety, The Art of Being a Brilliant Teenager has a particular emphasis on explaining the human operating system. This allows young people to let go of bad habits and groove good ones in. It covers themes of resilience, values, consumerism, purpose and communication, in a page-turning way.
BRILLIANT TEENAGER is THE go-to book to ease young people into adulthood.
