Book Description

It s time to bring The Buzz into your classroom. Packed with interactive activities, practical tips and humor, it has something for every student. The Buzz blends all the richness and energy of Nlp (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and Personality type theory which is presented in a style designed to inspire and educate both teachers and students alike. The Buzz is an exciting collection of interactive techniques developed with teachers and students which informs and inspires young people to make positive life choices.

Contents include: How to become the best you; personality assessment; how to increase confidence, self-esteem, motivation and self-awareness; how to relax and reduce stress; managing negative behavior; study skills; and revision techniques.

In surveys conducted by the author, young people consistently desire the same three things from life–to be happy, to be confident and to be successful. The Buzz shows them how to achieve all of these through a fantastic and illuminating journey of self-discovery. Complex theories and approaches are clearly presented in an easy to understand form. A unique and highly effective method of realizing potential and being the best you can be.

Editorial Reviews

Review

This is an easily read book which is essential reading to raise aspirations and to improve personal confidence, both for teenagers and adults. The section Go for It is particularly relevant for individual students who want to improve their performance, by giving them skills to deal with issues such as self doubt, negative peer pressure and low self esteem. The book will be a valuable resource for teachers, tutors and mentors at all levels of education and will give them a renewed positive buzz to raise student aspirations and achievement. Possibly the title and the front cover do not fully sell the excellent content of the book.

If you were to mark your life out of 10, what score would you give yourself? What score would your teenager give his or herself? To help you get the highest possible score, The Buzz tackles three areas : how to make your personality buzz, how to make your behaviour buzz, and how to really buzz (i.e. go for it) in your life. The book is heavily based on NLP and Personality Type theory but is amazingly accessible to teenagers (and to parents, too – I only handed it over to the teenagers after I’d used it on myself, of course!). I LOVED this book. It felt exciting to read, I felt that I was finding out more about myself on every page – and, better still, understanding how and why other people have such a huge influence on how I feel. There are loads of techniques, tips and tricks – but the best bit of all is the motivation to understand yourself better and really get what you want out of life. I’m also a lot better now at turning fears into positive, helpful actions. Excellent. Families South West rating: ********* –Families South West

For too long careers work has focussed disproportionately on the development of knowledge and skills. David’s accessible, engaging and entertaining work reminds us that values and behaviours are an equally important component of personal development and can be developed by everyone and at any time to discover and realise their full potential.
