You Are Simply Perfect! A Mindfulness and Self-Awareness Guide for Tweens and Teens: (Includes exercises and journal pages!) | Puffin Books for Children & Young Adults
Sadia Saeed, a practising psychologist, has crafted something rather rare: a self-exploration journal that actually speaks to young people's messy, complicated lives. Jealousy. Bullying. Anger. Anxiety. Body image worries. The relentless scroll of social media. Sound familiar? Of course it does. The book cuts through the noise with refreshing honesty. School, tuition, home expectations, friendships, romance—it all piles up quickly. Online feeds make everyone else's life look blissful whilst yours feels chaotic. But here's the thing: short bursts of dopamine aren't the same as real wellbeing. So where should you actually look? Organised into five digestible sections, this illustrated guide offers genuine strategies for quieting the mental chatter that defines adolescence. It teaches you how to befriend yourself, make peace with your body, understand your emotions, and navigate the storms that inevitably arise. Rather than preaching, it invites genuine connection with who you actually are. What makes it special is the space it creates for you. Journal prompts, reflection exercises, meditation techniques, and real-world stories aren't just printed here—they're waiting for your thoughts, your doubts, your breakthroughs. It's a companion you can return to, again and again, whenever the noise gets too loud. A genuinely useful gift that teenagers will actually want to use.
