Love the Gen Z Influence!
Adulting Skills 101 Unplugged is a must-listen for anyone navigating the transition into adulthood—or even for those looking to brush up on life skills we missed along the way! Co-authored by a dynamic mother-daughter duo, the audiobook strikes the perfect balance between humor, practicality, and relatability.
The narrator brings a conversational, engaging tone that feels like you're chatting with wise, funny friends who truly "get it." The chapters are packed with valuable tips on everything from cooking and budgeting to car maintenance and navigating the workplace, all delivered in bite-sized, actionable pieces. The personal anecdotes, especially those from Merced's freshman year, add so much charm and make the advice feel grounded in real-life experiences.
What sets this audiobook apart is its ability to make adulting approachable and fun. The humor keeps the content light, even when tackling intimidating topics like taxes or insurance. The sections on socializing and modern etiquette are particularly refreshing, offering great advice for Gen Z in a digital-first world.
I especially loved the creative metaphors (like the "virtual shadow" for your digital footprint) and the emphasis on building strong, practical habits. Whether you're 18 or 26, this audiobook has something to offer. I highly recommend it as a thoughtful gift or a treat for yourself!

The perfect book to prepare for college life and independence
I was searching for the perfect book to give my daughter as she prepares to leave for college, and Adulting Skills 101 Unplugged fit the bill perfectly. This book offers practical advice on a wide range of topics in a refreshing and humorous way, making it both informative and enjoyable.
I especially appreciated the mother-daughter collaboration behind the book—it gives the advice a relatable, heartfelt touch. To enhance the experience, I purchased the Audible version to follow along as my daughter reads the printed copy. The reader’s voice was engaging and pleasant, making it easy to stay tuned in.
My daughter and I plan to go through the topics together over the next year, using it as a springboard for meaningful conversations as she gets ready to embrace this next chapter of her life. If you’re looking for a practical, engaging resource to help guide a young adult toward independence, this book is a fantastic choice!

OMG, I’m 45 yr old single mom and I needed this!
I originally got this book for my teenage twin daughters but I ended up getting so much out of this! All the things you think you know, you realize when listening to this all the things your mom may have missed (or maybe I just wasn’t listening).
The stories are good and it is very informational! I appreciated the info on nutrition but laundry and home repairs were highlights for me!
It’s an easy listen and now I’m going to go find my water shut off valve to my house because I don’t know where it is! Thank you Dr Wear and Merced!
