The 12 Hacks to Improve Your Life series (4 titles) aims to boost emotional well-being and resilience. This slim volume offers guidance on how to deal with bullies and frenemies, both in person and online. The personable, concisely written text encourages problem-solving and provides actionable steps, including asking for help and taking a technology break. Techniques to "find your power" through body posture, mindfulness, and critical thinking are also discussed. Stylized, contemporary stock digital illustrations portray youth in relatable social situations, from being excluded by a peer group to talking to a trusted adult. Information is presented in flow charts, bullet-point lists, and hand-held signs. Back matter includes a list of organizations that offer online and phone support, suggested printed resources, a glossary, and an index. Straightforward advice, effectively delivered.
