Sound "bites" of wisdom for a fast-paced world, this direct, simple book guides 18-year-olds on their journey to adulthood. Includes advice on relationships, money, safety, health, education, and success, encouraging a balanced life through thoughtful choices. Brief enough for short attention spans but addresses powerful subjects vital for every person on the planet to consider. Includes sections that encourage readers to add their own thoughts. Author Monica Hagen, a teacher, parent, and former 18-year-old, shares what loved ones would love to say to young adults to help ease their transition to independence. A wonderful graduation gift that opens doorways to important subjects and meaningful discussions.
