Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Mindset Change 101
Shirlonda Evans- McCain · 2017
61/100
👎 Skip It
The author's real-world credentials in youth coaching and the five-skill framework give this book a more practical backbone than many teen empowerment titles. But the limited professional reception, murky edition history, and crowded genre make it hard to confidently recommend over better-documented alternatives. It may serve well in a classroom or workshop context where the author's coaching relationship provides context the book alone can't.
