Synopsis

Navigating the landscape of young adulthood is fraught with challenges big, small, and existential that leave even the best of us screaming internally. Guac Is Extra But So Am I: The Reluctant Adult’s Handbook explains the realities of life people expect you to know—but aren't usually spelled out—through humorous, biting commentary, illustrations, and guidance from those who have seen it all.

Packed with discussions, tips, and advice on everything from the shifting etiquette surrounding modern dating (Will you still love me when I’m no longer young and tolerant of your substance abuse?) to how you should be forcing yourself to save for retirement (We're all just a few breakdowns away from becoming an interior designer or golf pro), job hunting (No, you cannot choose “muse” as a career path), to the highly emotional and physical trials of moving (The road to hell is paved with shag carpeting). These topics, and anything else that might fluster a young adult, are explored and addressed with the author’s trademark wit and self-deprecating style. Add in contributions from leaders in their respective fields, including Mad Money’s Jim Cramer and editors ranging from The New York Times to Town & Country, and Guac Is Extra But So Am I becomes an illuminating guide to what it means to be a well-rounded individual in a digitally evolving world ridden with student debt and Instagram “models.”

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Navigating the landscape of your post-high school and college years is fraught with challenges big, small and existential. Now that youre an 'adult' with a 'job', youre finding things out the hard way, like that spending 9-6 in front of a computer and meetings with a hangover is a tad more difficult than sleeping through your physics lecture. Guac Is Extra But So Am I delivers a humorous yet helpful cheat sheet of the realities of life people expected you to know but that aren't exactly inherent. This book is split up into sections and then further divided into more bite sized and easily digestible portions, complemented by acerbic commentary and illustrations that speak to both the banalities and joys of day-to-day modern life. Topics range from how you should be saving for retirement now with a diversified portfolio, to modern dating, to career and etiquette advice. Meant to appeal to all genders, it takes on the challenges unique to a generation riddled with debt, living life half-online.
