About the Book

A Guide to Growing Up is an interactive book that details the experiences and changes people will most likely face when they turn 18. This book started as a letter to my sheltered little brother as he was about to become of age. We both kept adding onto it over the years, and this is the result. The book has large margins in it for you to write in your own life lessons and comments, with the idea you will pass it on to someone else who could benefit from it. Unlike other related books that are all about going to college and surviving it, this book focuses more on personal development: How to deal with depression Combat loneliness Understanding emotions Self-awareness Social skills How to make new friends Logical decision making Choosing a good relationship partner and much more... These skills are crucial to handling unforeseen situations and problems that will inevitably occur. Included in the text are some unique "perspective tweaks" that are designed to help cope with the several aspects of life that are out of our control. While this book was designed to be relevant for the current and upcoming generations of young adults, there is something in here for people of all ages and stages of their lives. You can check out this book FOR FREE before you buy it, and also receive additional support and updates, as well as share your own experiences with others, in our online community at http: //www.obsanity.net
About the Author: I'm just a person. There's nothing special or extraordinary about me. All I know and share in this book is the result of being very fortunate with meeting people, listening when they need someone to talk to, taking the time to ask questions, and generally paying attention to what's going on around me. I have had both great relationships and terrible, abusive people I clung to for far too long. What the worst times in my life have shown me is that everything gives you an opportunity to learn something. I began writing this book when I was 22, as a letter to my brother, as a present for his 18th birthday. Seven years later, with the help of many people, I finally finished it. At least, the first edition. Life will always be changing and information must be kept up to date. I have never been married (came close, but escaped before it was too late). I have no children. My credit is shitty. I just have good relationships with a lot of people who have been kind enough to open their lives, hearts, and secrets to me for the sake of this ever-growing catalog of human experience. In my free time, I still play hockey. I'm addicted to pizza and cream soda. I still don't have a normal career. I have met probably 80 or 90 people from the internet now... I've lost the actual count (there used to be a stigma about doing that, back in the day). I make ends meet by fixing computers and refereeing bad roller hockey. It's been a great struggle emotionally for most of my life, either with fitting in or finding love. To know just enough to be satisfied momentarily, and have more than a few circles of genuine friends makes me feel like I'm the luckiest person I know. The biggest thing for me was learning how to be grateful and happy with what I have, no matter how much or how little or how weird it is. It's been smooth sailing ever since.
