Sorted is the kind of book that talks to young people rather than at them. Written by Neil Sherress, who knows first-hand what it's like to grow up feeling like your future has already been decided for you, this guide cuts through the noise to give teenagers something genuinely useful: a frank, accessible toolkit for navigating life on their own terms. From understanding the four types of intelligence schools never teach, to building real self-esteem through values rather than the opinions of others, to setting meaningful goals, managing time, and dealing with the really tough stuff — Sorted covers the ground that matters. With chapters on communication, restorative justice, paradigm shifts, and the hero's journey, Neil invites young readers to stop seeing their circumstances as fixed and start seeing their lives as their own story to write. Grounded in real experience and backed by testimonials from those he has worked with, Sorted is a no-nonsense companion for any young person ready to take their life seriously.
