Blaze Your Own Trail: Ideas for Teens to Find and Pursue Your Purpose

By Justin Ashley

Book Overview

Empower teens to build their own paths with strategies that encourage self-discovery, autonomy, and connection.

Blaze Your Own Trail invites teens to consider their values, goals, and interests, and take steps toward building the life--and blazing the trail--they want for themselves. Teens follow the three sections of the book--the inner path, the outer path, and the onward path--to explore a breadth of topics, from developing a vision for their future and boosting their self-regulation strategies and emotional intelligence to making time for rest, practicing gratitude, and connecting with others.

This student-facing partner to The Balanced Teacher Path presents teens with ideas for seeking purpose, joy, and balance in their lives. To enrich and inform the book, award-winning teacher Justin Ashley surveyed the teens he's worked with. Blaze Your Own Trail gives teens the freedom to read what's most relevant to them in the moment with short, easy-to-digest chapters.

Far from a prescriptive guidebook, Blaze Your Own Trail supports teens in their journey to creating their own path--and destination.
