About this listen
In this teen mental health book for parents, teachers, and youth leaders, international speaker Joe Beckman takes the popular presentations he’s shared with more than 1,500 schools, to create truly empowered mentors—and reconnected kids.
“I often find myself dispensing advice that came directly from Joe’s words.” (Jim Tobin, eighth-grade science teacher)
More than ever, kids are feeling the burn of living in the fast-paced, do-it-all, win-at-any cost, boredom-is-bad, hyperconnected-yet-totally-disconnected society we surround them with. More than ever, they are looking for answers.
They are looking to their parents, teachers, coaches, youth pastors, mentors...and as the adults who are answering, what are we telling them? What are the most important messages all kids need to hear in today’s world?
Teaching kids to thrive and regulate emotions may seem like a challenge. Especially when parenting teens with depression and anxiety, it’s hard to know the right thing to say.
Just Look Up is a small book that tackles this big task—providing concise and practical advice that fits into everyday dinner-table and youth-group conversations.
Combining humor, authenticity, and heart, Joe Beckman shares five specific phrases he believes all kids (and adults) need to hear. The result is a refreshing, authentic, and down-to-earth approach to finding self-worth, resilience, confidence, joy, and maybe most importantly, human connection.
In this quick and inspirational listen, discover:
- Research-based practices for childhood mental health, human connection, and self-worth
- The right thing to say to teens with intense emotions
- A template for managing screentime and conquering cell phone addiction
- Student and teacher study guides packed with inspirational self-help
- Companion videos and discussion starters to empower the kids you care about
This kids mental health book blends the modern understanding of Matt Haig’s Notes on an Anxious Planet with the practical applicability of What Great Teachers Do Different.
It’s time to lift up our heads, shake off the fog, reconnect–and do it together.
“A great read with much-needed messaging for all ages and audiences—especially now when human connection is needed more than ever.” (Tina Uphoff, health coach, fitness trainer, and mom)

And on her first day of seventh grade, she vows to make this the year she turns it all around. This will be the year that she'll finally let go of her pain and her anger and be happy again.

But are the skills they possess transferable? And do they have anything to teach us besides making money? In Richer, Wiser, Happier, William Green draws on interviews that he’s conducted over 25 years with many of the world’s greatest investors.

Greene, author of the acclaimed book The Explosive Child, offers educators and parents a different framework for understanding challenging behavior.

Story
Overthinking isn't a personality trait. It's the sneakiest form of fear. It steals time, creativity, and goals. It's the most expensive, least productive thing companies invest in without even knowing it. And it's an epidemic. When New York Times best-selling author Jon Acuff changed his life by transforming his overthinking, he wondered if other people might benefit from what he discovered. He commissioned a research study to ask 10,000 people if they struggle with overthinking too, and 99.5 percent said, "Yes!"

High conflict is what happens when discord distills into a good-versus-evil kind of feud, the kind with an us and a them. In this state, the brain behaves differently. We feel increasingly certain of our own superiority, and everything we do to try to end the conflict, usually makes it worse. Eventually, we can start to mimic the behavior of our adversaries, harming what we hold most dear. In this book, New York Times bestselling author and award-winning journalist Amanda Ripley investigates how good people get captured by high conflict—and how they break free.
