‘Based on solid original research, Dr. Batat has crafted a must-read for anyone who must understand pre-teens and teenagers. Her results point to a new approach for marketing, whether promoting products or healthy choices, a new approach that takes into account the sometimes-rapid changes that young people go through. Practical and thorough, with clear recommendations and case studies.’
