About this ebook

Do you ever feel like you missed the day in school when they taught you . . . literally everything you were going to need for a successful adulthood? How do you iron clothes? Where do friends come from? Why are there so many types of insurance? Does everyone else already know this stuff, and where did they learn it?

Stuff Every Adult Should Know is a pocket-sized guide to the practical skills, everyday responsibilities, and social situations that come with grown-up life. Learn how to make and stick to a budget, deal with taxes, write a cover letter, change a tire, sew on a button, and handle other everyday tasks that somehow everyone expects you to know already. On the fun side, discover how to go about things like hosting a dinner party, making small talk, building new friendships, holding a baby, and finding a cause you care about. 

Compact, funny, and easy to reference whenever a grown-up question catches you off guard, this 144-page hardcover is Adulting 101 for young adults, recent graduates, first-time independent adults, and anyone who occasionally wonders how everybody else learned this stuff.
