Publisher's summary

Get ready to live independently by learning these essential life skills.

Do you plan to move out of your parents’ house soon, but you have doubts if you can really stand on your own?

Are you afraid that you don't have the skills necessary to deal with emergencies at home and on the road?

Do you feel you’re too dependent on your parents who do everything for you that you don’t know how to do them yourself?

Adult life is full of challenges, and the best time to prepare for it is before you become one.

Just like how school trains you for the professional world, you also need to train yourself for the demands of adulthood.

From cooking your own food and fixing your own car, to managing your finances and taking care of yourself—these are essential skills you need to know if you want to become a fully-functioning adult someday.

As much as you may want to just let your parents keep doing things for you, learning to do them yourself will make you feel more confident about yourself and your ability to accomplish more in life.

Plus, you’ll also make your parents proud.

Whether you want to stop relying on your parents for every little thing, or you want to make it on your own, this book can help you achieve your goal.

Inside, here’s just a fraction of what you will discover:

  • Why self-care should be your top priority—and different ways to practice it.
  • How to manage your finances, avoid unnecessary expenses, and grow your money.
  • Five easy ways to sneak some physical activity into your day even if you’re busy with your schoolwork.
  • Tips and tricks to cut costs on grocery shopping.
  • Basic household repair skills so you can fix things yourself without having to call (and pay) for help.
  • Why it’s wise to invest early—and what you should invest in.
  • Seven interpersonal skills you must have to succeed in life—and how to hone them.
  • Practical car repair skills to save money—and how to deal with road emergencies on your own.
  • What you need to do to get a job even if you don’t have a relevant experience.
  • How to stay safe when you’re home alone at night.
  • And much more!

This guide doesn’t only teach practical skills for you to survive, but also the right habits to build so you can thrive in life.

Learning all these early on will prepare you for adulthood and help you set yourself up for success.

a great resource for teens

This is a great resource for any teenager looking to become a more independent and confident adult.

The book covers a wide range of topics, from self-care and managing finances to basic household repairs and car maintenance. I particularly appreciated the section on self-care, which emphasized the importance of prioritizing your own well-being and offered practical tips for incorporating self-care into your daily routine.

The financial management section was also helpful, with tips on avoiding unnecessary expenses and growing your money. And for those of us who struggle to find time for exercise, the book provides some easy ways to sneak physical activity into your day.

Overall, this practical and easy-to-follow guide covers all the essential life skills that every teenager should know.

So smart!

Very insightful. The author hit on many good points for managing your spaces, goal setting, and money. I think my favorite was that the book included a section about being stranded on the side of the road, and then online/offline safety.

This Stuff Isn't Taught in School

Many of the skills learned in school help you get a job, but very few are taught to survive daily as an adult. As an adult for 20 years now, I see a generation that lacks some of the basics to thrive in a constantly changing world. I think one of the basic necessities of communication is lacking due to the ongoing time spent on social media. So they may have friends they talk to about basic stuff but not enough close people that they can share their feelings. I believe the lesson about money is so relevant, considering that most people have debt that it is out of control. I thought the book's best part was about prioritizing caring for yourself. If you don't, no one else will. Evaluating your life and choosing your priorities, and not letting others and life choose them for you. You are still learning yourself, so these can change but stay the course. By being true to your values, you will be the best version of yourself. I recommend this book to encourage you along the journey to adulthood.

Where was this when I needed it?!

Robbins lays out a powerful guide that I wish I had when I was a teenager.

It’s very comprehensive and hits all the essential targets, such as finances, self-care, social skills, and even goes so far as to help them with vehicle repair!

I love the tips on incorporating physical activity throughout the day, as my son spends a lot of time working on his computer.

This is will help develop autonomy, confidence, and independence.
