Are you pleased with the progress you've made so far in
achieving your hopes and dreams? Are you excited about
what's coming next in your life? Or do you need a complete
overhaul? In How to Be a Grown Up, renowned
psychotherapist Stacy Kaiser demonstrates the life-changing
benefits of embracing the concept of the "fully loaded grown
up." After counseling thousands of patients, she has
identified ten critical areas that determine success,
happiness, and fulfillment—from conscientious money
management to developing strong coping skills to building
the right kind of friendships and intimate partnerships.
How to Be a Grown Up begins with "The Quiz,"
the first step to empowering you by helping you become an
expert on your own life, exploring what you really want and
need in every area of life. In chapters packed full of tips,
tools, and exercises, Stacy takes you on a journey of
self-discovery in which you evaluate your individual
strengths and weaknesses as well as identify self-sabotaging
traits and learn how to change them once and for all.
Had trouble keeping your cool the last time you talked
to your mom? Read up on the secrets of dynamic
communicators. Reevaluating your circle of friends? Discover
the six types of grown-up friendships and appreciate your
relationships for what they are. Stuck on a frustrating rung
of the corporate ladder? Learn the traits that every
employer loves—and how to master them yourself.
Fully loaded grown ups are fully empowered and in charge of
their own lives. They are able to initiate change instead of
just reacting to events, bounce back from setbacks and
disappointments, and enjoy more satisfying
relationships—with everyone, including themselves. Most
important, fully loaded grown ups enjoy true freedom—not the
kind envisioned as a child, meaning eating ice cream for
dinner, but absolute confidence in their ability to live
their own best life. With her trademark mix of
warmth and toughness, Stacy motivates readers to rally their
strengths, let go of childish, outgrown attachments, and
arrive at a peaceful balance between freedom and
responsibility. Whether you feel you've lost control of your
life or you just need a tune-up in an area or two, How to
Be a Grown Up is a wise and witty life guide for the
twenty-first century.
