New Book is Teen Prescription for Survival
"We are not created equal. We are something far better. We are unique," writes New York Times best-selling author and personal growth consultant Cynthia Brian in her inspirational new guidebook for teens, Be the Star You Are! For TEENS.

MORAGA, CA, August 23, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- It's not easy being a teenager in the 21st century. Kids communicate more through text and instant messaging than through personal interactions. Teens are plagued by depression, eating disorders, drugs and alcohol, as well as a media that glorifies fame, money, beauty and sex without providing any role models for becoming self-reliant individuals. As Brian puts it, "America is witnessing a growing epidemic of youth helplessness. Be the Star You Are! For TEENS is a refreshing escape from sermons and rules. Instead the book offers straightforward stories and tools in easy-to-read, short chapters guaranteed to help adolescents survive in a rapidly changing, fast-paced world."

Written by teens, for teens, about the multitude of challenges faced throughout adolescence, Be the Star You Are! For TEENS invites readers to embrace their individuality. Simple, direct and powerful, each chapter of Be the Star You Are! For TEENS focuses on an aspect leading an abundant life, instructing readers with a true story, a life lesson, an electrifying exercise of implementations and a quote for reflection.

Ideal for teens looking for answers and parents, teachers, grandparents or advisors searching for communication guidance, Be the Star You Are! For TEENS is guaranteed to awaken passion, potential and infinite possibilities.
