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. Fortunately, here is a book that does just that. From entrepreneur Raffi Grinberg, who lived and learned the hard way throughout his twenties, here is a crash course in everything you need to know to be a grown up. 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. As Raffi tells his students, "I want you to have a quarter-life crisis now so that you won't have a mid-life crisis later." A MUCH-NEEDED BOOK FOR YOUNG ADULTS: Creator and teacher of the undergraduate college course Adulting 101, Raffi Grinberg crafted a foolproof curriculum that became one of the department's most in-demand and highest-rated classes. Like his course, this book answers a need for young people who will inevitably discover that most of what they learned in school does not apply to their lives and that the things they need to know most were never taught to them. TIMELY ADVICE FROM A TRUSTED SOURCE: This is not advice from your parents' generation. Grinberg, now in his thirties, has recently faced some of the present concerns of people in their twenties. This life skills book helps readers unlearn outdated, unrealistic advice with guidance that reflects life's current realities and opportunities. OUTSTANDING GRADUATION GIFT: The United States is facing a loneliness crisis, a mental health crisis, a debt crisis, and a crisis of meaning. This guide proactively teaches young adults fourteen essential skills to avoid these crises in their lives and make the most of their twenties. An indispensable resource and entertaining read, How to Be a Grown Up makes an excellent self-purchase or thoughtful present for birthday, graduation, college or grad school kickoff, or job-seeking encouragement. Perfect for: Recent high school and college graduates Parents with adult children Fans of self-help and life skills books Anyone looking to better manage their personal finances and career opportunities Readers of The Defining Decade, The Alchemist, What Color Is Your Parachute?, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, The Last Lecture, and The Unspoken Rules

The essential "e;lifesaver"e; that every student of real analysis needsReal analysis is difficult. For most students, in addition to learning new material about real numbers, topology, and sequences, they are also learning to read and write rigorous proofs for the first time.

It takes the time to provide plenty of examples as well as guided "e;fill in the blanks"e; exercises to solidify understanding.Newcomers to real analysis can feel like they are drowning in new symbols, concepts, and an entirely new way of thinking about math. Inspired by the popular Calculus Lifesaver, this book is refreshingly straightforward and full of clear explanations, pictures, and humor. It is the lifesaver that every drowning student needs.The essential "e;lifesaver"e; companion for any course in real analysisClear, humorous, and easy-to-read styleTeaches students not just what the proofs are, but how to do them-in more than 40 worked-out examplesEvery new definition is accompanied by examples and important clarificationsFeatures more than 20 "e;fill in the blanks"e; exercises to help internalize proof techniquesTried and tested in the classroom
