Co-authored by Penny Alexander and Becky Goddard-Hill, it blends psychology-based insight with hands-on activities, helping young readers understand what drives their moods and how to actively shape a happier, more resilient outlook, at home, at school and online.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBeing a teenager comes with a unique set of pressures, from friendship fallouts and exam stress to the constant pull of phones and social media. This guide meets those challenges head-on, explaining that a significant portion of happiness is within a reader's control and then showing exactly how to harness it. Chapters cover building a personal anxiety toolkit, planning a digital detox, learning simple meditation techniques, setting healthy boundaries, and strengthening connections with family and friends through shared activities and honest conversation starters. Each section pairs an easy-to-follow exercise with a short explanation of the psychological research behind it, so teens understand not just what to do but why it works. The tone throughout is encouraging and non-judgemental, treating readers as capable of real change rather than lecturing them. Whether used for quiet solo reflection, shared with a parent, or worked through in a classroom or wellbeing group, the book adapts to how each reader wants to engage. It sits within Collins' wider \"Be You\" series of teen wellbeing guides, offering a trusted, age-appropriate entry point into topics that can otherwise feel overwhelming for young people to tackle alone. Parents and educators will find it equally useful as a springboard for open conversations about mental health, making it a versatile addition to a family bookshelf, school library or PSHE resource box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractical anxiety toolkit for recognising triggers and managing stress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigital detox guidance to build healthier screen habits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeginner-friendly meditation and mindfulness exercises\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActivities designed for solo reflection or family and friend involvement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear explanations of the psychology behind each technique\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact paperback format, easy to carry in a school bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Authors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPenny Alexander and Becky Goddard-Hill are award-winning writers and bloggers known for their work supporting young people's mental health, and co-authors of Create Your Own Happy.
