Your turn : how to be an adult

Lythcott-Haims, Julie (author.).

Summary: What does it mean to be an adult? In the twentieth century, psychologists came up with five markers of adulthood: finish your education, get a job, leave home, marry, and have children. Yet so much has changed about the world and living in it since that sequence was formulated. Twentysomethings (and thirtysomethings, too), faced with those markers, feel they're just playing the part of "adult," while struggling with anxiety, stress, and general unease. Being an adult is not about a checklist. It is a process, one you can get progressively better at over time, becoming more comfortable with uncertainty and gaining the knowhow to keep going. --adapted from publisher.
