With gentle wisdom, Steinberg guides us through truly novel findings on what happens during adolescence and tells us how, as parents and teachers, we should change our ways." - Martin E. P. Seligman, Ph. D., author of The Optimistic Child "If you need to understand adolescents - whether your own or anyone else's - you must read this book . . . Steinberg explains why most of our presumptions about adolescence are dead wrong and reveals the truth about this exciting and unnerving stage of life." - Jennifer Senior, author of All Joy and No Fun
