with this book u shall never be helpless ever again.. great price for loads of info, sometimes when im bored.. i do one of the things there.. and let me tell ya. there are a lot of things u can do with this book. in practically everything!!

Some of the practical life skills were more survival skills than day to day, live like a functioning adult skills. I was looking for something more along the lines of, what should every adult know how to do- buy stamps, write checks, insurance, vote, etc. So it just wasn't what I was expecting.

A not-totally useless guide. Some interesting and useful tidbits, though I may be taking some of my knowledge of things for granted. Worth a read for anyone who feels like they don't know how to do anything. If you didn't before this, you will after.

An interesting collection of useful, helpful, and sometimes odd how-to advice. Perfect gift for the person who loves random facts, or use as a waiting room/ bathroom book to spend a few minutes more occupied.
