Great guide for teens and young adults

As a father to 3 teenagers, I am always looking for materials to provide my children to help them prepare for adulthood. Simply talking to them isn't always effective. This book is a great resource, full of easy to implement steps to get ready to be an adult.

Insightful

There are so many life hacks covered in the audiobook teaching you some tricks to make your life more convenient in the States. It feels like a wise friend who has lived here for a while giving me some suggestions. Even if you are not living in America, a lot of skills still apply.

Good book!

This book is actually different from similar books!
Oter books did not touch on important skills/ knowledge such as healthcare, handling important documents, social etiquette and others.
The author is really want to prepare readers for the next milestone in their life and this is why he uses easy language and terms to ensure clarity. He also has the definition of healthcare terminologies! I believe it is a very helpful book for any young adult who is ready to start their own live.

Become a life-long learner

It's probably no surprise that schools don't prepare children for essential life skills (because schools consider it's parents' responsibility to teach). The book is straightforwardly packed with case studies that many young adults can relate to. Whether it's about social etiquette or personal finances, you can learn a thing or two from this book. But keep on learning; it's never too late to start.
