Highs! Over 150 Ways to Feel Really, Really Good....Without Alcohol or Other Drugs by Alex J. Packer
This stress reduction manual for teens uses humor to explain what stress is, as well as the negative effects stress can have on a teen’s life. Most of the book is devoted to descriptions of some of the many ways a teen can reduce stress in his/her life by getting “high.” That is, getting a natural high from life, rather than from drugs.
A few of the 150 natural ways to get “high,” or, to feel really, really good, include such things as: visualization; meditation; engaging in show more extreme sports; drawing or painting; dancing; and petting your cat or dog.
This extremely practical guide presents much needed information for teens in a format that will entertain, as well as enlighten them. The text packs lots of information onto each page, without being too wordy or using confusing terminology. The illustrations also lend a sense of lightheartedness to a sometimes serious subject.
This book should be a good addition to any middle or high school library collection. show less
