Editorial Reviews
Review
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.
