Crucial skills delivered
This no-nonsense guide cuts through the nonsense to deliver exactly what young adults need but never learned in school. While firmly rooted in American systems, "Life Skills 101" tackles healthcare navigation, online relationship safety, and financial literacy with refreshing directness. The healthcare section alone could save readers thousands in preventable mistakes. Neither condescending nor overly simplistic, it presents adult responsibilities in accessible language with practical steps. A valuable resource for transforming overwhelmed novices into confident adults navigating life's complex systems.
