Young Adult Mentor Speaks Out!
I believe this inspirational and practical gem of a book offers teens, parents and educators insights into what young people should know. The author speaks to subjects that are challenging and he encourages critical thinking. For instance, he gives a clear picture of branding and how students have the ability to decide and nurture the tag they want for themselves. An authority on networking and social media the author informs teens of the pitfalls and the advantages of social media and thus equips them to make informed decisions. The author clearly covers many other important topics like growth mindset and values. Examples illustrate how young people’s decisions affect their path which may either enhance or detract from their goals. Examples also illustrate different approaches fulfilling contrasting personal needs. This book is especially helpful with its exercises at the end of chapters that makes one stop and think. Although I am far from my teens, this book gave me insights that I will use personally and as a high school teacher/librarian. I am planning on using this as a workbook for my YA book club as it would lead to high level discussions giving students insight into their personal development.

This playbook is also a workbook where there is a "water break" for you to reflect on the chapter with blank pages to write your thoughts and complete Exercises.
The writing flow of this playbook from one chapter to the next engages the reader to contemplate one's own thoughts, feelings, self-examination Etc. Also, it offers inspirational quotes (LOVE the quotes selected) and resources at your fingertips.
As an aunt, I am sending this playbook to the kids in my life because that's how GREAT an effect this playbook will have to opened up the kid's possibilities. I think of this playbook as the manual before you reach the phase of your life when you read the manual of "What Color Is Your Parachute?"
GREAT Playbook on how YOU can and will ACCELERATE!

Full disclosure, I have known Ziz since 1983 at the University of Maryland. As in Chapter 8 - Values and The Word Valuable, I value and I believe in the material in this playbook.Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2020

During this unprecedented time, never before has a guided playbook geared towards Middle and High Schoolers been needed. With young people and adults all learning and working from home - this book helps all of us navigate past antiquated habits and ideas of what “ success “ should look like. I was immediately struck by the “Pre Game” chapter and what Ziz Abdur Ra’oof’s # 87 represents. Inspiring!
