The bestselling author of Choice Theory and Reality Therapy offers a powerful approach for helping troubled teens.
During his decades-long career as a therapist, Dr. William Glasser has often counseled parents and teenagers, healing shattered families and changing lives with his advice. Now, in his first book on the lessons he has learned, he asks parents to reject the “common sense” that tells them to “lay down the law” by grounding teens, or to try to coerce them into changing their behavior. These strategies have never worked, asserts Dr. Glasser, and never will. Instead he offers a different approach based upon Choice Theory.
Glasser spells out the seven deadly habits parents practice, and then shows them how to accomplish goals by changing their own behavior. Most important, however, in Unhappy Teenagers, Dr. Glasser provides a groundbreaking method that all parents can use with confidence and love to keep a strong relationship with their child.

anybody’s bike book
Image by Earthworm
One of the few books I bought as a young person and still the best book on bike repair. At least I never had need to look at any other book. It is written in the style of "How To Keep Your Volkswagen Alive" by John Muir and, like that book, was continually updated for the life of the author practically.
This book explained things so well that I was able to do all my own repairs as a teenager, including replace brake cables, remove and clean the drive train, take apart the wheel hubs, the bottom bracket, the headset, then clean the bearings and repack with grease and get it all back together.
The book essentially taught me the nuances of fixing anything by telling me how to go about working with tools and mechanical things, what to look out for and all the little details that save frustration like how to lay the bike down on a white towel so you can find all the bearings that pop out when you take the headset apart. It also warns you about things not to attempt like trying to true a wheel to anwhere near perfection.
Other books of the ’70s that lay down the foundation of my DIY life were "The Illustrated Hassle-Free Make Your Own Clothes Book" and "Living Poor With Style" by Ernest Callenbach, author of "Ecotopia". It was later reprinted, "updated" and defanged under the title "Living Cheaply With Style", which makes me wonder what happened to the word "poor".
Books like these were friendly, follksy and subversive in that they encouraged independence from the system. I don’t think the "for dummies" series can come close to how these books empowered me.

While shallow celebrities dominate the headlines, pundits bemoan the death of the music industry, and the government decries teenagers for their morals (or lack thereof) earnest, heartfelt bands like Dashboard Confessional, Jimmy Eat World, and Thursday are quietly selling hundreds of thousands of albums through dedication, relentless touring and respect for their fans. This relationship – between young people and the empathetic music that sets them off down a road of self-discovery and self-definition – is emo, a much-maligned, mocked, and misunderstood term that has existed for nearly two decades, but has flourished only recently. In Nothing Feels Good, Andy Greenwald makes the case for emo as more than a genre – it’s an essential rite of teenagehood. From the ’80s to the ’00s, from the basement to the stadium, from tour buses to chat rooms, and from the diary to the computer screen, Nothing Feels Good narrates the story of emo from the inside out and explores the way this movement is taking shape in real time and with real hearts on the line. Nothing Feels Good is the first book to explore this exciting moment in music history and Greenwald has been given unprecedented access to the bands and to their fans. He captures a place in time and a moment on the stage in a way only a true music fan can.
