Learn all the things about adulthood they didn’t teach you at school in this fun and irreverent workbook.
Being an adult is hard as sh*t. 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-ups—it’s all the necessary little crap along the way that nobody talks about, but is hard nonetheless.
Grow the F*ck Up gets it, and is here to help. It’s one part habit tracker, one part no-bullsh*t 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 worked out.”
“I paid a bill on time.”
“I put the dishes away.”
“I drank water.”
By earning these “I did it!” successes along the way, you’ll feel d*mn good about the small steps you take on your path to full-fledged adulthood. Conveniently arranged by topic, you can jump to the chapters that are affecting you the most, so you can learn just what you need for any given moment. Subjects include:
As you review each topic, use the guided writing prompts to explore why you’re stuck and try the actionable “Adulting Challenge” exercise to help get you moving again. With a layflat binding for easy writing and compact size, you can work on your grown-up skills wherever you go.
Even if you don’t yet feel like a full f*cking grown up, this guided workbook will help get you on your way.
