You are expected to know this stuff. Nobody taught it.
Somewhere between graduation and your first real paycheck, everyone assumes you picked up how money works, how to handle a bad boss, and how to tell a good relationship from a bad one.
Most people learn it the hard way: through debt, burnout and a few relationships they would rather forget.
This book is the shortcut. Not to skip the hard parts, but to go into them with your eyes open.
Where most people start
Plus 98 more across relationships, romance, wealth, health, diet, hygiene, work, education, influence and ethics.
