Holiday gifts for teens
For the teen who has everything except a head start.
Jumpstart Your Life is 101 short lessons on money, friendships, health and work. It is a holiday gift that is easy to wrap, easy to read, and still useful long after the decorations come down.
Easy to wrap. Lasts a lot longer than candy.
Most teen gifts are forgotten by January.
Teens are famously hard to shop for. The gadget gets replaced, the clothes get outgrown, and the gift card disappears into something you never see.
A good book is different. It sticks around on the nightstand and gets picked up on a slow afternoon.
This one is built for that: 101 lessons, most a page or two, that a teen can read in any order.
Good lessons to start the new year
Plus 98 more across relationships, romance, wealth, health, diet, hygiene, work, education, influence and ethics.
Why it makes a good holiday gift
- Meaningful, not cheesy
- Practical advice from two cousins who learned it from their grandparents.

Make it more than a book
