This workbook felt too scattered because it tries being too many things at once; the relationship section felt like a self-help therapy book while the finance section feels more instructional.
There’s also an implicit guilt tripping with checklists re: what’s a baseline for being an adult (e.g. cooking a meal or dressing), ignoring the fact that folks with depression often aren’t able to do tasks like that.

There were some good journal prompts in here, but overall I’d recommend a book that’s tailored to the specific need you have - not a vague sense of “here’s everything every adult should know,” which is highly subjective.

“The Adulting Workbook” by Elsie Wild is full of super useful information. From habit trackers, reflection props, checklists, goals, food trackers, healthy lifestyle info, exercising reflections, mood trackers, selfcare info, finance help, budgets, career goals, home to do’s, help on need to know when buying a home, chores, relationship advice, ideas of how to meet new people, relationship care, and dealing with loneliness this workbook has everything you might need to be an adult. I wished I knew a bunch of this info years earlier and is great for people who have been an adult for “a while” or young adults. 4 out of 5 stars, a must read for every person.

This isn't really a self-help book, although there is some good practical advice here. Rather, it's an assessment on where you are in different areas of your life.
There is no magical moment when you suddenly feel like an adult, and this workbook starts out with an assessment of what you think an ideal adult is. There are no wrong answers, but it's a great idea to think about the people you look up to and who had a positive influence on your life so that you can work on having those positive attributes.
Then there are several assessments on different areas of your life, such as health and diet, so you can set goals and decide what your goals are. Goals change over time, but it's easier to work toward a life you love if you can picture it.
I especially loved the advice about careers, where it helps to make a resume and gives advice like how to keep boundaries at work. The information about buying and renting homes was also very useful. There's also great advice on relationships, such as how to make friends as an adult and how to break up with someone, and then at the very end practical information about laundry, insurance, and how to make coffee.
I loved it. Thank you NetGalley

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.
Loved being able to look through this book ahead of time. I’m looking forward to buying a hard copy of it when it is published. Great workbook.

I think putting your best foot forward and always looking ahead not behind is such an important trait for any human being to have. Now, this is easier said than done, but something that we can all work on. Working and redefining ourselves is the epitome of being human. I think that sometimes we become so caught up on the hype and trying to please others before we please ourselves is so detrimental.

This author was able to bring out those lessons that we need to hear and learn in order to become our best selves!

Thank you for the opportunity to read this book.
A guide to all things adult: finding friendships, types of insurance needed, wellness exams, cleaning, home maintenance, financial strategies, etc. All in a positive, easy-to-follow, and encouraging format.
A great guide for anyone starting out and for those who want a refresher to make sure they’re on the right path.

I think this would be a great guide for a high school or college graduate that has a tendency to want to be organized and wants to know where to start.
