Teenage life is the most awkward seven years you'll ever have. 84 months of change, 364 weeks of weird and 2,555 days of scrolling and inconvenience. In the grand scheme of life, it's not a lot. Unless you're an actual teenager, in which case, it's EVERYTHING!
"It's the best years of your life!" they tell us.
And yet, while it should be, for so many it just doesn't feel like it. For most it's an emotional assault course of acceptance, stress, anxiety, heartbreak and peer pressure, all whilst navigating the 'hashtagony' of social media. Misunderstood by society and misrepresented by the media, teenagers have it tough.
A Head Full of Everything demonstrates that being a teenager doesn't have to suck. And when it does, there are some cool things you can do to make it suck a little less. In his new book, bestselling author, award-winning comedian and international keynote speaker, Gavin Oattes will challenge you to embrace your inner weird, to never grow up, be true to yourself, protect your mental health and be sure that, for your seven glorious teenage years, you act your age. Literally.
This is a personal development title for teens, with a difference - there's no waffle, no dad chat, no fluff. Full of hilarious, real-life inspiration and a few crazy ideas along the way, A Head Full of Everything will leave readers feeling motivated, energised and reassured that nobody has life all figured out.
As Gavin says in the book: "Life can be rubbish. It requires energy and effort. It can feel like a chore but the more skilled at it we become, the better at it we get and the happier we feel. We all have different thoughts and opinions when it comes to living our best life and what that even means. That's what keeps the world exciting, we're all different. But really, who has actually nailed living? Has anyone truly perfected life? Nope, of course not. But we can give a go! And when better to give life a damn good go than in your teens."
