| Summary, Etc. |
"The right idea, invoked at the right time, can change our lives. Drawing from her long studies of happiness, and also from the challenges she's faced herself, Gretchen Rubin has discovered the "Secrets of Adulthood" that can help us manage the complexities of life. To convey her conclusions, she turned to the aphorism -- the ancient literary discipline that demands that a writer convey a large truth in a few words. Perhaps you're paralyzed by indecision, struggling to navigate a big change, fighting a temptation, or puzzled by the behavior of someone you love; whatever you face, the right aphorism can help. Covering topics from procrastination to the pursuit of happiness, Secrets of Adulthood is filled with witty and thought-provoking reflections, such as "Accept yourself and expect more from yourself" and "What can be done at any time is often done at no time." For anyone undergoing a major life transition, such as graduation, a career switch, marriage, or moving, or for those just encountering everyday dilemmas, these disarming aphorisms will inspire you by articulating truths that you may never have noticed but instantly recognize."-- Provided by publisher.
