Get It Together: Cultural and Practical Tips to be a Successful Adult

This book is about taking control of your life. That's it. What you do with that control is entirely up to you. Inside, you'll find things you may not have learned in school, but you absolutely need to know if you are going to Get It Together. The tips, advice and exercises are helpful at any age, but especially for a young person wanting to become an independent high schooler or adult. A sample of the highly useful and must-knows:

Part One - the value of mentors, the American Dream, keeping commitments, hard work, moderation and "just because you can, doesn't mean you should"
Part Two - finding, keeping and being successful at a job, interviewing, resumes, and getting into and paying for college
Part Three - getting your financial life in order: bank accounts, credit and debit cards, saving for the future, insurance and basic legal documents
Part Four - the how-to's of daily life, from buying smart, eating smart, personal security, getting a good roommate and renting an apartment to taking care of a car, doing laundry and cooking for yourself

All these life skills, not generally taught in school, are crucial to being an adult and crafting a successful life. It's time to Get It Together.
