Adulthood for Beginners: All the Life Secrets Nobody Bothered to Tell You by Andy Boyle
3.5
3.5 stars
The title of this book should probably be How to Be Awesome: Don't Be an Asshole as that's really what it covers.
Some favorites from the book:
~Don't Be an Asshole
~You Don't Get to Tell Anyone Anything About Their Body
~Always Be Good to People in the Service Industry
~Someone who has been drinking or doing drugs is NOT in a position to consent to sex so don't try to have sex with them, no matter what they say
~Don't send pictures of yourself naked and/or your genitals unless the other person requested them. Don't pressure somebody else to send pics of themselves to you. DO NOT share any such pictures, especially as revenge
There are some topics (such as what to do with your life and all the financial and legal things that you never had to think about before such as taxes and insurance and retirement savings, etc.) that the book doesn't touch on or if it does, doesn't really go into much depth about. I've read several books about adulthood and the quarter-life crisis and life after college, etc., and none of them really cover all those topics well, they sort of pick a couple to focus on and then just perfunctorily touch on the others, so this book is in solid company there. Rather than focusing on all the technical aspect this book is more about how to be not-a-terrible person which is definitely something everyone should try to be if they're going to consider themselves "grown-up".
