How to Adult - Paperback

by Peter A. Charleston (Author)

You don't need more motivation, another productivity hack or someone telling you to "think positive". What you need is for your internal life to catch up with the mask you wear which says, "I'm fine".

How to Adult is for those who are capable and functional and yet find themselves stuck in old patterns of behaviour, mental habits that don't stick, confidence that fluctuates, relationships that feel harder than they should.

The world may say it's laziness or even dysfunction. But Peter Charleston offers a harder-won truth: it's because you were never taught to psychologically grow up.

Inside these pages, you'll find the antidote to self-help fluff in the form of actionable strategies founded on core principles:

● Responsibility creates freedom, not shame.

● Emotional and mental strength can be improved.

● Insecurities are eliminated by strengthening your ego, not trying to get rid of it or denying its existence.

● Self-worth does not come from what you achieve but who you become.

Grounded in psychological science and written with clarity, warmth and bite, this book helps you stop self-sabotaging and instead guides you towards maturity by choosing to respond to the world in better ways.

That's what adulting really means.
