A practical guide to adult life's greatest mysteries that were never taught in school but should have been--including how to launch your career, find your purposes (for right now), invest your money, and much more. >Though twenty- and thirty-somethings are better educated than ever before, essentially none of the topics critical to being a full-fledged adult--such as how to get a new job, create a budget, file your taxes, face rejection, and navigate family dynamics--are covered in lower or higher education.

A MUCH-NEEDED BOOK FOR YOUNG ADULTS: Creator and teacher of the undergraduate college course Adulting 101, Raffi Grinberg crafted a foolproof curriculum that became one of the department's most in-demand and highest-rated classes. Like his course, this book answers a need for young people who will inevitably discover that most of what they learned in school does not apply to their lives and that the things they need to know most were never taught to them. TIMELY ADVICE FROM A TRUSTED SOURCE: This is not advice from your parents' generation. Grinberg, now in his thirties, has recently faced some of the present concerns of people in their twenties. This life skills book helps readers unlearn outdated, unrealistic advice with guidance that reflects life's current realities and opportunities.
