Publisher's summary

If you graduated from college but still feel like a student...if you wear a business suit to job interviews but pajamas to the grocery store...if you have your own apartment but no idea how to cook or clean...it's OK. But it doesn't have to be this way.

Just because you don't feel like an adult doesn't mean you can't act like one. And it all begins with this funny, wise, and useful book. Based on Kelly Williams Brown's popular blog, Adulting makes the scary, confusing "real world" approachable, manageable - and even conquerable. This guide will help you to navigate the stormy Sea of Adulthood so that you may find safe harbor in Not Running Out of Toilet Paper Bay, and along the way you will learn:

  • What to check for when renting a new apartment - not just the nearby bars, but the faucets and stove, among other things
  • When a busy person can find time to learn more about the world - It involves the intersection of NPR and hair-straightening
  • How to avoid hooking up with anyone in your office - Imagine your coworkers having plastic, featureless doll crotches. It helps
  • The secret to finding a mechanic you love - or, more realistically, one that will not rob you blind

From breaking up with frenemies to fixing your toilet, this way fun comprehensive handbook is the answer for aspiring grown-ups of all ages.

ONE OF THE MOST USEFUL BOOKS AROUND

Thank you Kelly Williams Brown for sharing this great wisdom and your fabulous witty personality with us. Would have loved to listen to the updated version - 536 easy-ish steps. Now I’ll have to skim through the book and figure out what I’m missing! I could use a review of this amazing life manual anyways. I’ll be sure to keep your book handy - cause I know I’ll be needing it. Thanks again! - From A 24 year old wanna-be-adult. :)

Confused by the audio quality

Would you listen to Adulting again? Why?

Good contents, but i just don't really understand, after I purchased the audio book and audio sounds differently than the audio sample even the chapter they're reading. Hmm so confused. I am expecting the same audio quality as the sample.

More educational than entertaining

I was expecting something fun and witty... Not someone seriously telling me how to be an adult... Learned a few useful things however, but it was a struggle to get to the end.
