How to Be an Adult: A Handbook on Psychological and Spiritual Integration

I just started reading the book, but man it’s packed with heavy stuff, u gotta take ur time with it in order for u to take in all of the information, very happy that I got this book , and I’m not a reader ,it’s very hard for me to get interested in a book and commit to it.

Excellent service, no complaints

Gotta read the book many times before the info kicks in if you've had a rough life

Fast delivery and a book worth reading.

If you have read the works of the author Robert A. Johnson, "Owning your Shadow", "We", "She", "He", etc... then you will understand that these books by Rico are the natural extension of how to use that information to actually make real changes in your life. Look, just because these three books by David Rico have painfully obvious self help titles, don't judge them based on that. In clear and concise terms, without ever talking down to you or treating you like it's a "For Dummies" book, the author explains the steps necessary to basically let go of the childishness of our mis-spent youth and finally grow up. I included all 3 of the titles together, and I believe that "How to be an Adult", "HtbaA in a Relationship", and "The Five Things We Can Not Change ..." should be read together, so as to have the greatest understanding of what is expected at any one point in your personal Epiphany. It's extremely easy to lie, especially to ourselves. The Ego will grasp at any straw to save itself, and these 3 books basically state the obvious in such a way that only the die hard defeatest could screw up "growing up". Taking personal responsibility for you life's decisions starts by recognizing why you did this in the first place, and why you chose to continue the dysfunctional patterns. I understand that many in the field are recommending these. I suggest a set, the Johnson books, followed by the Rico.... in that order. This is how I offer them to my students who are seeking a better life for themselves. You can't fix someone else, they have to want to fix themselves. These books together give you the answers, and the means to let the dreggs go. These books open the door to a bigger world of possibilities and options for an improved life... and they answer that primary first question, "Why am I like this....". Arwythur

This book reads like it was written for a graduate level university class. A fair bit of top shelf vocabulary and much of it is rather dense so not a quick read. It’s an older book so many of the concepts have become more common, but this presents them in a clear manner with excellent background and examples.
