Reviews

[Nikki Burton · Rating 4 out of 5]

Overall, a good book for someone in their teens or early college years. As someone who is just out of college I found most of the information to be an overview of things I already knew. But, there were still a few new things. I found the advice given to be very helpful. I think it would be a good read for someone who is just learning about the complications that come with being an adult. But, if you’re already familiar with how taxes, finances, insurance, etc. work you might not learn anything new.

A lot of helpful life tidbits here: ideal morning/evening routines, how to lead yourself & others, time/attention management, mental health/loneliness stats and counselor-backed solutions. Good book!

Book one and book two were great. It’s perfect for a high school graduate, but if you’re in college it could still benefit you to read. This book was more about shaping you as an adult. It covered struggles such as depression and anxiety. It’s more of a mild “self help book” than book one which I would say was a little more informative on adult life tasks.
