The Real Simple Guide to Adulthood: Making Life Easy

Real Simple, the #1 women's lifestyle magazine, has created The Real Simple Guide to Real Life: Adulthood Made Easy, an illustrated handbook to help young adults navigate their busy, new lives and master "life 101" from home to work to relationships. Right after graduation, the questions start piling up, and they just keep on coming throughout your 20s and beyond. How do I find a job that I love and also pays well? What should I wear to the interview? And where do I put my clothes if my apartment doesn't have a closet?

The guide provides original essays from best-selling young writers and practical advice from expert contributors, simplifying and demystifying important aspects of adulthood. It offers guidance on landing a job, finding an apartment, decorating on a budget, cooking for one, dressing for work, organizing a small space, picking a mentor, and writing a thank-you note. Additionally, it provides answers for dealing with 401(k)s, kitchen mishaps, epic hangovers, messy roommates, and even messier breakups.

The guide features insights from inspiring women such as Gretchen Rubin, Barbara Corcoran, Rosie Schaap, Gail Simmons, Melinda Gates, Cristina Henríquez, Madeleine Albright, Doree Shafrir, Camille Styles, Egypt Sherrod, Kelly Wearstler, Brené Brown, Edan Lepucki, Abby Larson, Emmy Rossum, Jenni Konner, Jessica Alba, Molly Antopol, Anna Holmes, Rachel Sklar, and J. Courtney Sullivan. They share their experiences and offer advice on what they wish they had known when starting out in adulthood.
