Very helpful!

This is a very helpful book for teenagers and parents. Teenagers often struggle with budgeting, dating, and living on their own, but they don't always feel comfortable asking their parents for advice. I love this book because it has quotes and experiences from young adults who are in the same situation and have great advice for the teenagers. Now teenagers can get answers to some of those questions that they won't talk to adults about, and adults can know that their children are getting good advice. Great book; I would recommend this book to anyone!

Parent of Young Adults

As the parent of young adults and soon-to-be young adults I found this book to have every bit of advice I try to give my young adult children but they won't listen to me. Shawn Moon now presents all of that great temporal and spirtiual advice in an easy to read book that is engaging and enlightening. I'm a grown-up young adult and I learned a lot from this book which I'll use. I will give this book as graduation gifts to every high school and college graduate I know. Thanks Shawn for making a mother's job easier.

On Your Own

This book is perfect for young adults of all ages. The author is very straightforward about important decisions that face young adults in many different stages of their lives. As a young single adult, I have had worries about finances, career, dating marriage, leadership, and just being on my own. Making decisions alone is a little scary at first! Shawn Moon addresses this pivotal decision-making time by offering positive, practical ideas and advice. For example, the chapter on finances has several charts to help with money management. Every chapter includes many quotes from young adults who have experienced both struggling with and successfully making these important decisions. The whole book provided a lot of inspiration for me in making some of these decisions that I am currently facing. I highly recommend this book for recent high school graduates, as well as for young adults who are already well-established in their post-high school or college life.

Outstanding book!

This is a very impressive book! It full of very practical and, at the same time, inspiring advice. I recommend it to all young adults (and thier parents!). Now I know what I'm giving to the high school graduates in my life this year!
