I picked up Social Skills Essentials for Teens by Morgan Tyler not because I have a teen at home, but because I was curious about how today’s youth are being guided through the maze of social interaction. To my surprise, I found myself genuinely engaged—and even personally impacted—by the advice in this book.

Tyler’s writing is warm, relatable, and refreshingly practical. The book covers everything from managing social anxiety and reading body language to building emotional intelligence and setting boundaries. While it’s clearly written for teens, many of the strategies and reflections felt relevant to my own life. It reminded me that social growth is a lifelong journey, and we all benefit from revisiting the basics now and then.

That said, the book does have its limitations. Some sections feel a bit simplified for older readers, and the examples—while helpful for teens—might not fully capture the complexity of adult social dynamics. It also leans more toward general advice than deep psychological insight, which may leave some readers wanting more depth or nuance.

Still, for what it aims to do—empower teens with foundational social skills—it succeeds beautifully. And if you’re an adult looking to better understand or support the young people in your life, or even just reflect on your own communication habits, this book offers a gentle and encouraging nudge in the right direction.

This is a great book for teens, parents and those dealing with teens to help teens grow in their social skills. It reminds me of another great book by Allan Garner, Conversationally Speaking. But this book focuses on teens and contains topics that is very relevant for teens such how to deal with toxic relationship and guides to navigate social media. Such topics are hard to find in general books about social skills.

The narrator is also great. One highlight was when the narrator went through some of the exercises, such as the breathing exercise to reduce anxiety. This was plain in a text but become alive and clearer when spoken by the narrator.

This book is a useful and warm-hearted guide for teens learning how to better interact with others. As a father of a young child, I read it and got to know what socializing struggles might come after. The topics—like building self-esteem, dealing with peer pressure, and making friends—are explained in a clear and relatable way. I liked that it includes real stories of teenagers, which made the advice feel more real. While it’s written mainly for teens, I think parents can also benefit from it.

Social Skills Essentials for Teenagers by Morgan Tyler is a breath of fresh air. As a parent of two teenage boys, I found this book incredibly helpful—it speaks their language without being condescending. It covers everything from starting conversations to handling peer pressure and social media in a way that feels real and relatable. My sons actually engaged with it, which is saying a lot!

The examples are practical, the tone is supportive, and the exercises are simple enough to try without feeling like “homework.” I appreciated how it also touched on confidence and emotional awareness—areas boys often struggle to open up about.

Highly recommend for any parent looking to help their teens build real-world social confidence. It’s not a magic fix, but it’s a great toolkit.
