Editorial Review
You've looked forward to this moment for years.
independence!
freedom!
At long last, you're on your own!
No more parental demands.
No more curfews.
No more having to turn down the stereo when the house begins to shake.

But if you're honest with yourself, aren't you just a little unsure of the future as you anticipate leaving Mom and Dad behind? Are you ready to manage your finances? To find the right job? To handle all the new problems that will come your way? Are you really ready for life on your own?

The On My Own Handbook is a collection of things you need to know before you leave home. It contains 100 keys to success that provide guidance in the areas of:
• Family and Marriage
• Personal Growth
• Social Development
• Professional and Career Decisions
• Finance
• Physical Development
• Spiritual Growth

You may want to leave home. You may feel like you're ready. You may dream of that day. But if you want your transition to be successful, you need to know the practical and simple principles presented in this book.

Best going-off-to-school book I've seen

2001-10-05
I'm a senior this year at Harvard, and my sister just started college at Hope College. I drove with her from Colorado to Michigan to drop her off at school, and we went through this book page-by-page together on the way up. An excellent book for me as a senior--about to hit the "real world"--and for her as a freshman, about to hit college. I want my own copy, and I don't usually like this kind of book. It's the only intro-to-adult-life book I've seen that offers wisdom as well as extremely solid practical advice. I like the financial section especially.

Great advice at any time of life from 10 up

1999-05-07
Great book. Most of the advice is summed up in one sentence summaries that are easy to remember and the author advises the reader to collect his own. I wish that I had this book when I was 20 (38 now) but most of the advice is still applicable. I am reading one principle per week to my daughters who understand some of the ideas and will get the others later. I use it as a frequent graduation present. Buy it, you won't regret it.
