Common sense answers to everyday problems

I ran across this book at the local high school where one of the teachers was using it as a text book for his class. It has been successful in helping the students there in dealing with their own problems. It offers concrete guidlines to use in discussing problems and difficulties that challenge young people today. The book discusses the struggle life can sometimes be and offers suggestions to help the reader identify the problem, think it through, and solve it. The 10 chapters are written by different authors giving each chapter a fresh perspective. My favorite was Chapter 1 by the comedian Bill Cosby. He used a humorous approach to present his solutions to the problems presented. If you like the "Chicken Soup" books you will like this one. I suggest you not only read this book, but keep it in mind as a gift.
