There are lots of books on how to raise a child, but not really any good books on how to raise an adult. This author really did a lot of research to write an excellent book on how to help young adults transition into life through wise career choices in life and in college. It also spoke of how parents have to let go gradually, and let their children become independent as time goes on. The book was a little long for me and did seem to repeat a little, but the information was wonderful. I also saved several of the Facebook and Twitter resources used. I highly recommend that every parent read this long before their child/children reach college age.… (mehr)

While I was not the target audience of this book I did find it very interesting. There were many things that I learned from this book and wish I had a book like this when I was learning to become an adult. A little preachy at times. I also thought that the author tried too hard trying not to offend anyone. To me part of adulting is getting your feathers ruffled and moving on.There are things to be learned in this book if you overlook some of the faults.

Julie Lythcott-Haims guides us through the steps necessary to become an adult, using a mix of personal experiences, practical tips and vignettes. This book would be an excellent gift for those in your life who are about to embark on their journey as adults.
