About this item:

Ready to get a head start on adulting? Want to get a sneak peek at the "coming attractions" of real-world challenges?

The trick to moving from your teen years into adulthood isn't about having all the answers—it's knowing what questions to ask. This book is your go-to guide for all things grown-up and the handbook for those life questions you haven't even thought to ask.

Essential Life Skills for Teens & Young Adults – with lots of helpful illustrations, doesn't pretend to have all the answers in minute detail. Instead, it serves up a comprehensive 'shopping list' of what you need to know and which skills to prioritize, preparing you for the independence that awaits.

Feeling the pressure of balancing academics, hobbies, and social life?

Wondering how to manage your finances, make big decisions, or even do your laundry without turning everything pink?

Do you worry about drowning in adult responsibilities soon because school never taught you the real-world stuff?

If your answer is ‘yes’ to any of the above, this book is your lifeline, offering smart, concise, and actionable advice—no filler, no fluff—just straight-to-the-point, practical guidance.

Here’s a sample of what you'll discover inside:

  • Self-Care Strategies: Learn to take care of your physical as well as mental self, so you can live life to the fullest!
  • Health Hacks: Decode the health insurance jargon and dodge common illnesses and medical issues – including those health hassles no one wants to talk about.
  • Time Management: Use time-tested tools to manage your precious time effectively and productively.
  • Decisions & Directions: Equip yourself with the tools for savvy decision-making and effective goal-setting.
  • Post-High School Possibilities: Explore your post-high school options with confidence—college, careers, gap year, or something else entirely.
  • Money Mastery: Master simple strategies for saving, spending, and making your money work for you.
  • Housekeeping & Maintenance: Keep your living space clean and organized; learn simple plumbing and electrical quick fixes.
  • Kitchen Basics: Find out how to buy groceries, plan meals, and cook simple meals.
  • Clothing Care: Decipher laundry labels, wash, dry, iron, and maintain your clothes for a winning wardrobe.

…and so much more.

Now, I can almost hear you say: "I can just Google this stuff." Sure, but does Google package it all up neatly with a bow, ensuring you don't miss any crucial topics you didn’t even think to ask about?

Or, are you thinking, "I'm not ready for all this yet"? Well, guess what? Life doesn't wait until you're 'ready.’

This book isn't a once-and-done read—it's your companion for years to come. Grow into these skills at your own pace, so when the time comes, you'll be ready. By flipping through these pages, you're not jumping the gun—you're getting ahead of the game.

This isn’t a cover-to-cover read, either; treat it like a reference book. Jump around. Use the bits you need, when you need them. Each page is packed with valuable intel, preparing you to outsmart any challenge that comes your way.

Don't let another day slip by. Take control, and set the stage for a successful, balanced, and fulfilling life. Click "Add to Cart" and embark on your journey to becoming a self-sufficient, thriving young adult.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Epic Book For Epic Teens

E.F. · 15 November 2023

As an uncle to a terrific teen, I couldn't resist the urge to dive into "Essential Life Skills for Teens & Young Adults" And boy, am I glad I did! This book is the Swiss Army knife of adulting – it's jam-packed with everything my niece needs to conquer the real world, and it's written in such a fun, approachable way that even I picked up a trick or two!First off, the section on self-care strategies is a game-changer. It's not just about eating your greens and getting enough sleep; it dives into the nitty-gritty of maintaining both physical and mental health. It's like a crash course in Health 101, minus the boring lectures.Then there's the bit about time management. Let's face it, balancing school, hobbies, and a social life is no easy feat. But this book breaks it down beautifully, offering practical tools and techniques that are simple yet effective. It's like having a personal life coach at your fingertips!Financial literacy? Check. From saving pennies to making smart spending choices, it guides young adults through the maze of money management. And the best part? It's all laid out in a way that doesn't make your eyes glaze over. It's finance made fun (who knew that was possible?).Housekeeping and kitchen basics are covered too. My niece used to think the laundry machine was rocket science, but not anymore! This book demystifies everything from sorting whites to whipping up a decent meal. It's like Home Ec for the modern age.But here’s the real kicker: the book is designed to be a lifelong companion. You don’t just read it once and forget about it. It’s there for you, growing with you, ready to offer advice and answers whenever you need them. Think of it as a mentor in paperback form.In a nutshell, this is more than just a book; it's a toolkit for life. It’s the guide I wish I had when I was a teen, and I’m thrilled my niece has it now. Whether you're a teen, a young adult, or just someone looking to brush up on life skills, this book is a must-have. Trust me, your future self will thank you for it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great to dive into for tips and advice

M. · 25 November 2023

This is a great little accessible book for teens especially. It helps with independence and covers topics such as the body, the mind, relationships, money and time. There are also sections that give great practical information on living independently and housekeeping, with easy to follow and useful parts on looking after your clothes and cooking, and life beyond high school.

5.0 out of 5 stars A useful guide for teens

S.H. · 17 November 2023

Seems to be a a fairly useful guide for teens, maybe 14 or 15 year olds perhaps. Bought for my niece, hopefully she will it useful!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The stuff they don't teach you at school

C.W. · 9 December 2023

This is a great book for giving a crash-course in lifeskills. In 12 sections it covers everything from mental health, physical health, eating and cooking, financial management, time management and more. Think of it like all the vital stuff that a young person needs to know that they don’t get taught at school. I got it for my teenage daughter, but I read it first and found that apart from being well written and very useful, much of the advice is universal for any age (i.e. even an old dog can learn a few new tricks!).My teenager is currently reading it, and in a few years’ time I will give it to her younger sibling to read. I think you could dip in and out of this book over the years, it is a very useful reference book to have in the house. In short, I wish I’d read a book like this when I was a teenager!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great advice

S. · 19 December 2023

Well written advice book for teens, using language that resonates with that age market. Great practical advice for any teen. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great guide for older teens & young adults

A. · 16 November 2023

This book is well written for older teens and young adults. It covers basic information they will need to start 'adulting', but it also covers basic information like knowing where the water shut off valve is for taps with a handy picture of what it usually look like. I'll be bookmarking this for when my kids get older.

This is a must for young people you love !

A.C. · 23 August 2024

I am the proud Auntie of 3 beautiful nieces . No kids of my own . I sent them all a copy , but not before reading my own copy . This book is something I wish I would have had as a teen . It is so informative in so many facets of young life . As I read this , I thought , they need to teach these things in high school ! I wish this would have been available to me at a young age. It’s great for all young people but esp important to read about good habits in money , insurance and just life skills . This a book I hope my nieces carry with them into adult hood ,and the pages get bent and highlighted . Highly recommend!!!!

"Life Skills Simplified"

M. · 22 November 2023

Finally, a guide that demystifies the maze of adulthood! This book is a lifesaver for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the sudden leap into independence. It breaks down everything from managing finances to mastering the basics of cooking and cleaning in a way that's digestible and actually doable. The tips are practical, the advice is sage, and the illustrations make it even more accessible. I found the sections on time management and decision-making especially enlightening. It's the perfect companion for young adults looking to build confidence in their day-to-day life skills. A must-have on your shelf for when Google just doesn't cut it.

Useful advice from a mother, which should not only be taken by her own children

T.M. · 2 December 2023

I liked the book, on the one hand, because I also like to read and write books about young people, as well as because I liked the author's style and personal tone, and you could feel the intention to help between the lines.In her book, the author shares very important knowledge that every teenager or young adult must learn if they want to live an orderly, predictable, livable life. In short, if they want to live a good life and if they imagine their future in the same way.The author condensed into 12 main chapters the valuable thoughts that she wanted to pass on to the younger generations, first to her own children, and later to all teenagers and young adults.She covers, for example, the importance of physical and mental health, human relationships, proper time management, financial matters, and even some knowledge of domestic and technology are included in her writing.I am no longer a teenager or a young adult, but I still found useful advice in it, which I will try to take and follow in the future.I recommend it to teenagers and young adults who want to gain useful information that will support them, help them make better decisions and pave the way to adulthood.

Great Reference Manual

L.J.C. · 24 August 2024

This is a great reference book for teens and young adults to help them learn about the aspects of life many people assume parents and schools teach young adults but isn’t necessarily taught. It would also be a great reference for teachers designing a life skills course for high school students.

Surprisingly helpful and easy to read

V. · 21 November 2023

I gave this book to my daughter, hoping to help her get ready for an upcoming gap year experience. Honestly, I did not expect her to give it more than a quick scroll, but she ended up reading it back-to-back in a few nights, and discussing it with me. It is packed with practical information on a wide range of topics, and written in a very approachable style, matter-of-fact and never condescending. The author has done a very good job at giving an overview of the really big issues (mental health, relationships, etc.), without overstepping into advice that is best left to experienced professionals. On more mundane topics, such as cooking, housekeeping and money management, the book is a trove of detailed information and I am sure it will be very handy as a go-to cheat sheet or checklist. Really surprising and refreshing!
