You may have already read it yourself, but just in case you haven't I forgot to add a description:
a true story in diary format, but beautifully written like a novel, about a teenage girl who goes into hiding when Hitler rises to power because she's Jewish. As months pass you can see clearly in her writing that she matures and becomes more spiritual, and holds onto her compassion for humanity no matter what bitterness and cruelty evil throws at her. She is one incredible soul, and just imagine what more she could have written had she survived! Probably masterpieces (aside from her diary).What are some insipring life-changing psychology-related books for a 17 year old?Way of the Peaceful Warrior, by Dan Millman.

xxxWhat are some insipring life-changing psychology-related books for a 17 year old?My younger sister and my oldest son used this book written by Jay McGraw, yes Dr. Phil's son. My nephew was heading to jail and other things, his mother made him read this book and what a difference in him. Complete turn around from the way he was. He wasn't welcome to my home, but since his change in attitude and the way he acts, I now let him come to visit.
My granddaughter was basically the same going down the wrong path. And now she's a young lady, the way a young 16 year should be.
Both of them have new friends now, and they are happy and enjoying life more then ever.
