A Guide to Growing Up Aaron Malone 2.º edición

A Guide to Growing Up is an interactive book that details the changes people go through when they turn 18. Many people, of all ages, are not fully prepared to face the world as adults. Without the proper support and direction, some people feel forced to go into "survival mode," which is when morality and personal ethics take a backseat to achieving the bottom line. When people operate in survival mode, the confidence and value of functioning as a community is lost. People begin to work only as individuals, resulting in wasted resources, as well as an increase in loneliness and disconnection. They resort to believing, "That's life in the big city." However, it doesn't have to be that way. There is much suffering and sadness ahead, some of which cannot be avoided. It is best to learn how to deal with it. Unlike other related books that are all about going to college and surviving it, this book focuses more on personal development, self-awareness, social skills, and creating a solid foundation for logical decision-making. These skills are crucial to handling unforeseen situations and problems that will inevitably occur. Included in the text are some unique "perspective tweaks" that are designed to help cope with the several aspects of life that are out of our control. While this book was designed to be relevant for the current and upcoming generations of young adults, there is something in here for people of all ages and stages of their lives.
