The perfect book for college graduates who finished their studies and have no idea how to organize their future. This book shows detailed steps on how to plan your future. This read contains four parts: Career, Finances, Wellness, and Relationships. Each part provides several helpful pieces of advice that will help you to organize your finances, get a job, take care of your health but also develop relationships of every kind.
I don’t know how to rate this book fairly because most of the things I already learned at university or from personal experience. I’m also very organized so most of the tips I’m already using in my life for a long time. However, for a person who doesn’t have experience in this matter, this book might be a perfect choice.
One of the most impressive parts of this book was Career. It includes a lot of very interesting, helpful, and important information that will help you to successively get a good job. It teaches you how to write your CV, motivational letter and many more. That’s the thing that every student should learn about. Moreover, it also includes advice about how to behave during the interview. In addition, what you should avoid talking about during this time.
I would like to thank NetGalley, Adams Media, and Elana Lyn Gross for providing me this copy! If you are a fresh graduate and have a hard time to decide on your next step, this book is a perfect pick for you! It’s easy to read and full of advice.

I am now no longer a post-graduate as I graduated from college 6 years ago but that doesn't mean this book didn't apply to me. Even if you are well established in your career, you can find a lot of goodness in What's Next.
Elana covers everything from graduating and landing your first job, to money and relationships. It's a full guide to adulthood and we could all use a reminder once in a while.
She does not mess around in this book -- it is very straightforward without a lot of 'fluff' that doesn't apply. That is my favorite part of it! There is no time for unrelated stories or advice when it comes to "What's Next."
The unique thing about this book is that it is truly a 5-year plan. Elana gives clear steps and guidelines on how to set up your plan (worksheets and everything included) so you can keep track of your plans and goals all in one place.
At the back of the book, there is a list of resources for your reference, everything from websites, publishers, and apps for a variety of different topics.
This is a post-graduate/adulting bible. It has everything you need in one place: it's a guide, a journal, and a reference document... you can't ask for more.
I've read a lot of self-help books in my time and while I might be slightly biased, I think this is a great one, especially if you're NOT into those self-help books. This is a book for anyone, despite gender, despite the industry, despite age... it's a very non-biased guide. It's short, sweet, and to the point. It doesn't tell anyone person's story (i.e: It's not written by a brand founder or an editor-in-chief like a lot of other books I've read). It's written by someone who has dedicated their life and profession to helping young adults find their way in the world.
I could not recommend this book enough to the freshly graduated and even someone who is starting a new job or changing their career path. You won't regret it!
