      Grades 9-12 Everyone procrastinates to some extent, but for young people, it can lead to poor grades, added stress, and the failure to live up to future expectations. In this workbook, Knaus, a psychologist, uses stories about teens to help high-school students get organized, cope with stress, and achieve better grades. Through cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) methods, Knaus encourages students to develop self-mastery skills in problem solving, reflecting and reasoning, monitoring their thoughts to achieve superior results, setting attainable goals and executing them effectively, and accepting setbacks, among other things. The occasional use of a metaphorical guide (e.g., The Spirit of Reason ) is different but effective, while 12 tips at the end of the book on transitioning to college are inspiring. The book's design, with pages that invite the reader to take surveys, fill in checklists, and answer progress reports, isn't ideal for libraries but will still be useful for students who want to stop procrastinating, do better in school, and accomplish moreand photocopies can easily be made for the classroom.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2016, American Library Association.)
