Adulting (verb): to do grown-up things and have responsibilities such as a working full time, paying rent, or owning a car.

Basic life skills go mostly untaught in classrooms, so graduates are on their own to figure out how to live successfully in the world. Without any guidance, where do you start? Adulting 101 is a clever, practical, and timely guide to how to:

Find a job and be wildly successful at work
Buy the items you need as an adult (apartment, car, insurance)
Set goals, prioritize, and get work done
Communicate professionally and effectively
Save and invest wisely
Navigate personal and professional relationships
Avoid the common mistakes of being out on your own
And much, much more

This book will give you what you need to succeed and make a real impact, inspiring you to change the world and be the person you were meant to be.

Wish I had it in highschool

Reviewed in Canada on 6 February 2019

This was a fantastic book, I have recommended it to many people. I wish I had this wisdom imparted to me at a slightly younger age. But alas, it still has served me well. Only thing is that if you don't know your countries equivalents of the US financial stuff it may be a little confusing.

Easy Read!

I love this book as it was an easy read and provided me with further knowledge regarding areas of my life in which I would not have thought about at this stage.

Right-wing Evangelical Male Rules for Your Life

Reviewed in the United States on 15 November 2020

Verified Purchase

I was browsing Amazon when I was tired and didn't realize this book is written by two right wing evangelical men.

Sex before marriage? You're doomed. Carrying debt, including a mortgage? No good. (They've apparently never heard of leveraging debt. It's a more complex and nuanced understanding of debt that right-wingers don't get because of their black and white thinking.)

I was thinking of giving this book to my seventeen year old niece. What a mistake that would have been. Might as well get her a book written by Jerry Falwell, Jr.

It's going back. I will not support these right-wing ideas which are currently undermining our society.

Can you ever have too much good advice? NOPE!! I wish someone had told me…

Reviewed in the United States on 10 March 2018

…some of these things before I left for college. I would have had less financial trouble in front of me and more good decisions behind me. Know anyone that you wish could skip common life mistakes? I’ve already made a mental list of three college-aged young people that are going to be gifted with this book; my daughter is one of them. Edited to add: scratch that. I just got these books and realized that three is not enough; I keep thinking of more young adults who would benefit from them!

Adulting 101 is like every piece of helpful advice someone could get from wise parents, uncles and aunts, grandparents, and financial advisors compacted into one book. It has reams of practical, useful advice on a wide array of subjects from how to dress for a job interview and how to get the best deal for a car to deciding between renting an apartment or buying a house. There’s advice on relating to others, being a good leader, investing, and so much more that would be boring for me to actually list it all out. (Check out the table of contents.) There’s not a lot of fluff. Okay, there’s not ANY fluff.

I think it’d be awesome if this book was required reading for high school juniors or seniors. There are some things where everyone is better off if we don’t have to learn it the hard way.

My only complaints about this book are that 1) the info is so dense, the lists could have been broken up more into sections with easy-to-find headings or indexed, and 2) the appendices have so much good information, they should have been included as part of the book itself, since so many people ignore appendices. I’d hate for anyone to miss the advice in the appendices that is not replicated in the body of the book itself.

Heads-up, this is a Christian book, although that only crops up in a couple of sections, and the advice in Adulting 101 is valid no matter one’s creed or religion. No advice is invalidated by that context. I just mention that for the sake of those who find it unacceptable to come into contact with anything remotely touching upon Christianity.

I received this book as an Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) from the publisher through NetGalley. My opinions are my own.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book

I am a Senior...not in college, not in high school; but in life. At 71 years of age, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It is filled with practical and wise information, understanding of young folks and sound advice for 'adulting'. (Some great tips, too, for those of us who are ready for Adulting 707!)
Reading this book can enable you to better communicate with younger generations. Giving this book to younger generations will provide an enriching and priceless guide for them.
