Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description
Whether you're 22 or 52, learn all the things about adulthood they didn't teach you at school in this accessible and encouraging workbook.

Being an adult is hard. And it's not just the big things like buying your own home, getting married, having children, or saying goodbye through death or divorce that make us feel like grown-upsβ€”it's all the necessary little things along the way that nobody celebrates, but that are hard nonetheless. The Adulting Workbook gets it and is here to help. It's one part habit tracker, one part advice guide, and one part cheerleader, giving you tips and tricks on a variety of adulting subjects.

You'll also find celebratory reward badge icons for adult milestones, such as:

  • I made a shopping list and followed it.
  • I made a phone call.
  • I put on clothes that weren't pajamas.
  • I didn't waste my afternoon scrolling on social media.
  • I worked out.
  • I paid a bill on time.
  • I put the dishes away.
  • I had a difficult conversation with someone important.
  • I updated my resume.
  • I drank water.

By earning these "I did it!" successes along the way, you'll feel good about the small steps you take on your path to full-fledged adulthood. Comfortably arranged by topic, you can jump to the chapters that affect you the most, so you can learn just what you need for this moment. Subjects include:

  • Financial Management (budgets, taxes, 401(k), IRAs, savings, handling debt, buying big-ticket items)
  • Employment and Career (resumes, how to dress appropriately, how to act/speak in meetings, office romances, sharing on social)
  • Health & Wellness (regular checkups and screenings, preventive medicine, diet/exercise/rest, personal safety)
  • Relationships (romantic, platonic, friendships, neighbours, roommates)
  • Home (down payments, furnishings, what to stock in the cupboards, cleaning 101)

Within each topic are guided writing prompts to explore why you're stuck and actionable Adulting Challenge exercises to get you moving again. A lay-flat binding makes the workbook easy to write in and its compact size means you can work on your grown-up skills everywhere you go. Even if you don't yet feel like an adult, this guided workbook will help get you on your way. With so much of our lives and contact going digital, the Guided Workbooks offer an intimate way to nurture your connection with yourself and the people around you.

An entertaining way to get off your screen, the pages in these guided prompt books are great for writers and first-timers alike. Each workbook offers content around a different, compelling theme, filled with thoughtful questions, inspiration for composition, and interactive prompts to learn about yourself and the world around you. Beautifully designed on high-quality paper stock and full of mindful prompts, channel your inspiration as you put pen to paper to learn more about what inspires you.

Other books in the series include: Finding Your Authentic Self, Stop Overthinking, 5-Minute Productivity Workbook, 3-Minute Positivity Workbook, 52 Weeks to Better Mental Health, Tarot: A Guided Workbook to Unlock and Explore Your Magickal Intuition, Astrology: A Guided Workbook to Understand and Explore the Wisdom of the Universe, and Finding Your Balance: A Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Workbook.
