Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The third book to come out in the All About Me series, Whats the Catch? How to Avoid Getting Hooked and Manipulated, explores the ways in which our thinking, feelings, and behavior are influenced by those around us. Sometimes this kind of influence is helpful, but at other times it ends up shortchanging us. Readers will learn to distinguish between the two kinds of situations, so that they can more easily tell when theyre really being helped, and when theyre merely being manipulated, brainwashed, or tricked. Written in a clear and accessible style by physician David Sobel, Whats the Catch? is illustrated by Jeff Jackson with an engaging and multiethnic cast of teen characters, who act out and embody the various ways in which were influenced by others. Readers will learn to become more aware of the forces nudging and pushing them, as well as how to protect themselves from unwanted and unhelpful influence. By coming to understand their own reaction patterns, theyll be able to avoid getting hooked. In Whats the Catch?, young people will discover all that scientists and researchers know, and also explore questions yet to be answered. Illustrative quotes from reallife teens, as well as simple activities the reader can do to relate to the concepts presented, make the book truly come alive for young people. Also included are suggested activities for teachers to use in the classroom.
