Real Life 202 gives advice a mom or dad would give you--if they knew it. But then you may not have listened anyway.
The chapters cover, for example: mind, body, money, moving and business among other areas of our life. Very interesting.
Too bad I already know most of this (just kidding). As one who does a lot of work in the alternative health care, I was impressed with her excellent information in this area. Her advice is good about a "healthy gut," about dangers of MSG, about chemicals in our food, and hazards of aspartame and benefit of natural sweetener, stevia.
This book is like an easy-to-read combination of Miss Manners; a wise and sharing relative; a sincere insurance or legal advisor; an open and with-it medical advisor; a smart money manager (banker, investments, etc.,),and so much more.
The chapter on building credit is so important in that young college students can run up huge credit card bills (getting offers daily at their dorm) that affect their credit for years to come. Today when insurance carriers are using our credit scores as a part of the criteria for determining our rates on car and homeowner policies, a good credit is vital.
Armchair Interviews says: Real Life 202 is a good resource manual for you and a great gift for young people as they enter real life. Jana Lee has combined Life 101 and Real Life 202 in a neat package worth your reading time.
