Each book begins with an At a Glance bullet point list of important information. It continues with a relatable story about a teen who might benefit from the skill and then uses the scenario to define it. Chapters focus on areas where teens might benefit from applying the skill, like at school, in their families or with their friends. Photos and captions highlight key points.
