Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Congratulations, reader! You've successfully navigated through the trials of childhood and adolescence. Now, as you voyage through high school to college and beyond, you're set to begin your next big adventure: adulthood. A few big decisions await you, from majors and minors to jobs and careers (and maybe even marriage!). However, in between the big ones, you'll make a million other smaller, subtler choices that will underpin everything from your friendships to your bank account. These are the daily choices that will truly define you . . . so how will you choose?
Choose Your Own Adulthood helps you approach these choices from a more thoughtful, curious, and ultimately self-aware perspective. You'll learn why responding is so much better than reacting, how loyalty is really overrated, which risks are worth taking and which are best avoided, and so much more. Exciting things await you on your journey toward adulthood: which path you take is for you to decide. Choose wisely!
Introduction: The choice is yours -- Pursue more of what you want most, less of what you want right now -- Respond more, react less -- Be more interested, be less interesting -- Be more loyal to principles, be less loyal to people -- Decide more, deliberate less -- Appreciate more, tolerate less -- Produce more, consume less -- Confront more, complain less -- Risk more, regret less -- Hope more, expect less -- Be more curious, be less certain -- Invest more, save less -- Train more, try less -- Create more, critique less -- Date more, relationship less (and never, ever hook-up) -- Finish more, start less.
