The Twentysomething Handbook: Everything You Actually Need to Know about Real Life

The ultimate, one-stop-shop resource for navigating and winning at life's most bewildering period.

Every twentysomething has one overriding question: How do I deal with all the things? For all those asking, Nora Bradbury-Haehl's essential go-to guide provides the answer. An approachable, easy-to-digest resource, The Twentysomething Handbook offers guidance for the practical aspects of life--work, food, money, a roof overhead--while at the same time addressing the hunger for meaning, connection, and a sense of the sacred.

The Twentysomething Handbook addresses the full range of life's challenges, including how to:

• find friends, grow your friendships, combat loneliness, and build a network of support;
• find a job, thrive at work, budget, do taxes, handle insurance, and feed yourself;
• furnish and decorate inexpensively, live with others (roommates or family), share tasks, handle conflict, and deal with landlords;
• meet people, date responsibly, establish boundaries, survive a break up, and recognize unhealthy relationships; and
• break bad habits, establish good ones, deal with loss, define your values, dream big, and find your purpose.

With "Twentysomething Talk" from other young adults and "Pro Tips" and "Words of Wisdom" from experts and faith leaders, The Twentysomething Handbook offers twentysomethings encouragement, guidance, and practical advice necessary for dealing with the problems all of us face--but don't always handle smoothly the first time around.
