Review by Booklist Review

It's a challenge for adults to motivate youth ages 10 to 25. Years of research claim that these kids are drowning in hormones, have undeveloped brains, and just don't want to listen. Developmental scientist Yeager, however, sees hope in this generation. He turns the research on its head by examining why these adolescents tune in or tune out. After interviewing successful mentors, coaches, and teachers, the author discovers that often it's the adults' mindset that leads to positive or negative results. There are many approaches to working with young people, which Yeager outlines. But in these case studies and profiles of successful mentors, Yeager shows how the most successful leaders not only expect the youth to succeed but also work with them to find the path to success. The answer to motivating youth is to have respect for their abilities, high standards, an understanding of their need for status, and full support. Yeager offers concrete guidelines. This is a gold mine for anyone dealing with people in this age group.
