"A practical guide to adult life’s greatest mysteries that were never taught in school but should have been -- including how to launch your career, find your purposes (for right now), invest your money, and much more. Though twenty- and thirty-somethings are better educated than ever before, essentially none of the topics critical to being a full-fledged adult -- such as how to get a new job, create a budget, file your taxes, face rejection, and navigate family dynamics -- are covered in lower or higher education.

Based on his wildly popular 'Adulting 101' course at Boston College, Grinberg firmly steers you through the basics of being a grown up using interactive chapters, bite-size nuggets of wisdom, humor, and stories from his twenties, including nearly going broke, having bad credit, disappointing his parents, and much more"--
