"Succeed Every Day: Daily Readings for Teens"by Pamela Espeland. Free Spirit Publishing (2001).

These days teens need lots of assets to achieve dreams. Not financial assets, but developmental ones. Pamela Espeland helps teens get their assets in line with "Succeed Every Day," a collection of 365 asset-based readings and challenges designed to ensure smart goal setting and make every day successful.

With asset categories such as positive identity, boundaries and expectations, empowerment and social competencies, teens can read quotes from celebrities and historical people, a short story, and a to-the-point daily commitment about goal seting and success.

Designed to be used by even the most reluctant of readers, each day’s offering will provoke, inspire and engage young people to add to their own asset inventory by taking small, doable steps.

"Succeed Every Day" offers a year’s worth of inspiration and guidance for teens on engaging in qualities and skills that will help them succeed at home, at school, in the workplace and in the world.
