Reviews"[Gretchen Rubin] returns with a collection of pithy, practical aphorisms. . . . The author's pragmatic, down-to-earth approach lends itself especially well to such guidance, and to aphorisms that enliven familiar insights with a touch of wry humor ('We can be very wrong for a very long time without noticing. Bloodletting was a common medical treatment for two millennia'). Rubin's fans will want to snap this up." -- Publishers Weekly
SynopsisNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The 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 our lives. 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 behavior 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, and 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., NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * The author of The Happiness Project and Better Than Before distills her key insights into simple truths for living with greater satisfaction, clarity, and happiness.
