Feeling lonely, overwhelmed, or unsure about the future? You're not alone—and this book can help.

Today's teens are less likely to be in romantic relationships, more likely to report feeling isolated, and increasingly overwhelmed by academic pressure, social media, and fears about their future. Many struggle to feel confident, connected, and in control.

Awakening the Five Champions: Keys to Success for Every Teen by Brian E. Razzino, Ph.D., is a motivational and practical guide designed to help teens not just survive these challenging years—but truly thrive.

Dr. Razzino, a licensed clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience working with children and families, offers real tools and relatable stories to help teens overcome everyday struggles with school, friendships, family, self-doubt, and stress.

At the core of the book are the Five Champions within every teen:
- the Warrior (courage),
- the Wizard (creativity),
- the Healer (empathy),
- the Lover (connection), and
- the Seeker (curiosity and purpose).

Teens will learn to manage social pressure, quiet the voice of self-criticism, and stand strong against the pull of comparison and perfectionism. Through reflective exercises and real-life examples, they'll gain tools to build confidence, emotional well-being, and a strong sense of identity.

Whether you're a teen ready to take charge of your journey—or a parent looking for a resource to better support your child—this book is a powerful roadmap to unlocking the strengths already inside you.

It's time to awaken your inner champions—and become who you were meant to be!
