From the Author:

The idea stemmed from watching classmates and colleagues fail to complete the most basic of tasks in life. From writing a check to changing the battery in a smoke detector, many people in my generation simply lack the general knowledge that is required to complete everyday tasks.
While writing Grow the Heck Up, I made it my mission to create a novel that was condensed, entertaining, and straight to the point. This satirical how-to is just that. In 100 pages, Grow the Heck Up leaves out every ounce of fluff that traditionally fills endless pages in fictional and non-fictional novels alike. Not only that, but nearly every chapter contains easy to follow, step-by-step instructions and images to help get you from point A to B in a few pages or less. Check out just some of the many uses for this novelty gift below:

From the Back Cover:

WARNING: MANY OF THESE TASKS ARE ACTUALLY APPLICABLE IN YOUR EVERYDAY LIFE.
With over 40 tasks that every young adult should be able to perform, Grow the Heck Up offers late teens and young adults lessons they never received at home or in the classroom. This satirical, blunt, and straightforward novel is sure to be the perfect gift to teach and entertain while giving a swift kick in the butt along the way.
If you can't seem to prepare for a job interview... If you can't manage to change a car tire... If you can't figure out why that damn smoke detector won't stop beeping... It's quite alright. Sometimes, something that seems so incredibly simple really isn't, especially if you have never had the opportunity to do it before. Back in the day, parents, teachers and other mentors taught young people elementary tasks. However, in today's fast-paced, digitally driven society those teachable moments are rarely experienced. Make those moments commonplace once more with Grow the Heck Up.
Delve into six chapters that contain automotive, clothing, employment, financial, grilling, home improvement, and miscellaneous advice. Within each chapter you will find a plethora of how-tos that are simultaneously witty and informative. Learn how to change a car battery, sew a decent button, create a resume and cover letter, prepare for a job interview, understand a 401k, and much, much more. Become one of the thousands that have enjoyed all that Grow the Heck Up has to offer!
