Loaded with lists of sample job interview questions, scripts for making phone calls, basic grocery staples, first-aid supplies, cleaning items, home repair tools to have on hand, etc., this book puts at the forefront things young adults are thinking about. In the age of COVID and chaos, social media, and sky-high rents, it's harder than ever to be an adult. No wonder so many young people have trouble adulting, aren't feeling it, and don't know how to begin. Being in charge of your own life seems exciting until you realize the so-called real world is a mix of daunting decisions and mundane details. Who knew that health insurance could be a deciding factor for taking or turning down your dream job? What exactly do you say to the doctor's office when you need to make an appointment? And why does laundry have to be separated and done so often? This book tackles and answers the questions young adults sometimes don't even know to ask. It's adulting 101 without having to take the class. Chapters in the book are ordered in a way that puts at the forefront the things young people are thinking about right now, with a new generation going into adulthood more likely to be living with family; more politically and civically engaged; and using social media as a communication tool/platform.
The book for every parent to read, highlight and pass to their young adult.

I was searching the internet for some help in regards to helping my 19-year-old son find his way. We always laugh and tell him that it's in the book and now there really is a book to refer to. I couldn't have written this better myself. My husband and I both spent a couple hours going through the book and highlighting different chapters and then sitting down and discussing them with our son. Many of these things we've discussed with our son prior, but now this is a guide that he can look at. I highly recommend this for all parents.
