Liftoff: The Self-Empowerment Guide for Teens (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781533281401)

Ilene Skeen has had a passion for practical thinking since childhood. Her favorite pastimes were coloring books and jigsaw puzzles. She thought that becoming a grownup happened in kindergarten. She was astonished to learn that growing up would take thirteen years of school. She excelled in school except when she failed. Later, in the business world, she called her early focus "creative problem solving." In 2015, Ilene realized that practical thinking skills were rare and valuable. She decided to apply practical thinking to the most important problem everyone needs to solve: growing up.
