HIGHS! Over 150 Ways to Feel Really, REALLY Good…Without Alcohol or Other Drugs
by Alex J. Packer, Ph.D.
Getting high is fun. It’s natural and healthy. It’s why little kids roll down
hills and beg Dad (or Mom) to toss them in the air. Unfortunately, by the time we’re
older, it may seem that the only way to get high is with alcohol or other drugs, which can
lead to big problems and negative consequences.
In his new book, the best-selling author of BRINGING UP
PARENTS and HOW RUDE! describes safe, creative ways to find peace, pleasure, excitement,
and insight. Alex asks teen readers, “Why spend Monday through Friday in stress city,
living for a drug-induced weekend blowout, when, with a little effort, you can experience
safer and better highs all week long?” Then, with his trademark wit and style, he
presents more than 150 different ideas for getting high naturally.
Because most teens are stressed out, he starts with serenity highs:
breathing and meditation. Then he describes highs related to sports and exercise, food,
the senses, nature, creativity, family, friends, and more. Step-by-step instructions
explain what to do and how to do it. Survey results reveal how kids today are getting
high. Resources list helpful books, organizations, and Web sites. Recommended for all
teens—and their parents, teachers, counselors, and youth workers. 264
pp., illust., S/C, 7 1/4" x 9 1/4". Ages 13 & up.
