Why read it?

2 authors picked Adulting as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Adulthood seems like a necessary and possibly desirable life stage, but HOW exactly does one do it? What are the essentials? Brown steps away from cheerleading and the examination of deep psychological concepts, and instead focusses on the actual skills you need in order to be a tolerably functional, reasonably independent adult. From how to roast a chicken, to coping with upsells at the lube shop, to responding to dinner invitations, she inventories the things every grownup should (and often doesn’t) know.

From Randy's list on building adulthood in your twenties.

Twentysomethings who are looking for a silver bullet will find it here in the form of 535 silver pellets. Without a doubt, one (or a hundred) of these pellets will change your relationship or your career or your mind or your potatoes, all of which matter in adulthood. Kelly Williams Brown makes growing up sound do-able and even fun.

From Meg's list on figuring out your 20s.
