Description

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness Project and Better Than Before distills her key insights into simple truths for living with greater satisfaction, clarity and happiness. The right idea, invoked at the right time, can change your life. Drawing from her long studies of happiness, and also from the challenges she's faced herself, writer Gretchen Rubin has discovered the "Secrets of Adulthood" that can help us manage the complexities of life. To convey her conclusions, she turned to the aphorism - the ancient literary discipline that demands that a writer convey a large truth in a few words. Perhaps you're paralyzed by indecision, struggling to navigate a big change, fighting a temptation, or puzzled by the behaviour of someone you love; whatever you face, the right aphorism can help. From procrastination to the pursuit of happiness, Secrets of Adulthood is filled with witty and thought-provoking reflections such as: * "Recognize that, like sleeping with a big dog in a small bed, things that are uncomfortable can also be comforting" * "Accept yourself, expect more from yourself" * "Easy children raise good parents" * "What can be done at any time is often done at no time" For anyone undergoing a major life transition, such as graduation, career switch, marriage, or moving, or for those just encountering everyday dilemmas, these disarming aphorisms will inspire you by articulating truths that you may never have noticed but instantly recognize.
