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.
