My review
Teenagers aren’t
the easiest people you can find yourself
dealing with. It’s the word of an expert,
meaning someone with long-lasting experience not someone with an answer
to any question. As a teacher to teenagers, I’m still and continuously
looking for answers, tips and suggestions to help me cope with their
complexity. This is why I found this
little book (17,000 words), which is
meant to help teenagers, quite
helpful to myself and my purpose.
The Jawbreaker: Unlock the (U)niverse by Jolene Stockman is a guide
aimed at leading young adults to self –awareness and self-confidence with a
step-by-step analysis of their most common attitudes to themselves, to others
and to life in general (You, Change, Knowing, The Glow), which
also includes a set of practical
exercises and activities (Mind Games)
targeting single specific goals.
“You are a million moments. You have created yourself bit
by bit and layer by layer, every day since you were born. You are a jawbreaker”
… This is the starting point, a really spot on image chosen by the author. She wants the readers to figure themselves out
like jawbreakers. And jawbreakers are sweet, colourful but really hard to break.
I found it a brilliant metaphor.
Honestly, I think this book might help any reader, not
only demographic audience, to build up their strength and it might show them
their own story in a whole new way. Try it yourself!
“You can help others in the world more by making the most
of yourself than in any other way” (Earl
Nightingale)
