Adulthood for Beginners: All the Life Secrets Nobody Bothered to Tell You

by Andy Boyle Narrated by Andy Boyle

Overview

A smart, funny, and essential survival guide that you didn't know you needed. But you do.

As any current or former 20-something knows, adult life can get a bit weird because no one tells you what to expect. Many of us spend a decade or more figuring out how the world works, hoping that by age 30 our friends are too old to remember what happened.

Unfortunately, Andy Boyle does not have it all figured out. But the funny and useful advice and observations in this engaging audiobook will help any newly minted adult get through the hard parts faster, guaranteed. (Note: not literally guaranteed.)

Topics include:

• Empathy, or why Nickelback fans are the best
• Making dates suck less
• What Would Tom Hanks Do?
• How not to be an asshole
• Should you get back together with your ex? (No)
• Resume Dos and OMG DO NOTs

According to writer, comedian, and web developer Boyle, adult life can be strange and unpredictable for young adults because they don't know what to expect. Here, he tells them all about work, dating, their bodies, and how to behave in the world. He imparts humorous advice on dealing with roommates, sleeping with coworkers, developing a reputation, and how to get good at "damn" near anything. Boyle's guidance can be simple, as in "get a dentist" or more avuncular, such as "failing isn't failure." VERDICT Boyle's book is hard to put down and full of solid advice. It's the perfect gift for a high school or college graduate.
