A Practical DIY Guide to Adulting

This book is the equivalent of a DIY manual for teens on how to creatively orchestrate their transition to adulthood with class and dignity. It covers the gamut of hurdles young people face as they strive to free themselves from parental oversight and strike out on their own. From emotional and physical self care, to money and time management to relationship building to experiencing a sense of joy and fulfillment in life choices made, all the bases are covered. The author writes in a straightforward and compelling manner offering both insight into the myriad challenges the transition to adulting presents and practical suggestions for successfully navigating the journey. I believe readers will find the presentation to be friendly and persuasive and easy to absorb into their lives and daily routine.

good read


The author's relatable writing style makes it easier for teenagers to understand the important topics discussed. It encourages self-reflection and awareness of personal identity, which helps them make more informed choices. The book covers communication, emotional intelligence, time management, and critical thinking, making it valuable and relevant. The narrator is pleasant and the pacing of the content is done well, keeping the listener engaged and helping them absorb the information. I especially appreciate the focus on nutrition and learning how to shop for and make healthy choices. I highly recommend it to any parent or teenager looking for helpful advice.

Great resource for teens

This is a nice resource for teens to help them move forward with life and be able to leave the home in a more confident and prepared way. This book exposes all the topics and practical tips that teens need to learn to become more self-sufficient, especially when mom and dad will not always be there to guide them every step. The tips can help them become more equipped and confident to make better decisions such as knowing how to handle peer pressure or improve their time management. Overall, I highly recommend this book for teens and young adults who would like to be better prepared for any challenges life will throw at them so they will be able to tackle them with confidence.

Such a great guide

This is a well-written guide for teenagers. It talks about every topic that teenagers might wonder about, but also gives advice on how to deal with money, school, transitioning into an adult and more. This audiobook is a helpful and instructive while being adapted to teenagers. It makes the transition from teenage to adulthood easier. I would recommend this book for every teenager and for every parent who wants to understand their kids better and provide them the information and help they might need.

Just what my son needed

I got this book for my son. He is a very fearless teenager and He is open to learning about becoming independent which is a big plus. The best thing is that it confirmed what I have been teaching him. I am glad it taught him about managing his money and not to over spend it. He now is enthusiastic about how to change a tire. He realized now that adulting is not as easy a he thought.

GREST INFORMATION!!!

At first I got this book for my niece who is 23 and is getting her own apartment. However, I found information for my middle school granddaughter and yes, actually myself! I have already used a couple of things! This book has good lessons, or if you already know somethings - good reminders, of how to get through life easier, with more integrity, and confidence! Great buy!!!
