The book covers six key areas; Emotions, Sleep, Risk-taking, Gender differences, Mental health issues and Brain development in older teens.It's a book written for young people, and as such it doesn't contain strategies for parents to deal with some of the more difficult aspects of adolescence. of any different behaviours could be put down to nurture (society) more than nature (biology) but that there are some differences that we observe that are more likely to be down to biology – and that those differences are not, in my view, very interesting or meaningful.

The information was presented in a really nice easy to read way and I think the stories that are presented also help to make it a more interesting read and help to put it into real life perspective rather than just facts on a page.

While the generalisations are fascinating, and the basic biology explained well, it is not written by a scientist and a lot of the assessments are very simplistic.
