Lessons Mama Never Taught Me
Author: Karen R January
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Lessons Mama Never Taught Me, is unlike any other book that addresses women's issues. It follows the dramatic real - life stories of ten women and a coddled man who survived the darkest moments of their lives without lessons they felt their mother never taught them and emotional influences that impacted their judgment of choosing their love wisely. Each story focuses on the topics of (sex, dating, education, money) and questions that were avoided while they were growing up and how the lack of communication from their mother's affected their lives. You will find out what these lessons are, how they survived these challenges and the steps they each took toward healing. The stories offer candid thoughts of personal experiences with extra-marital affairs, abortion, Internet dating, domestic and sexual abuse, chemical dependency, mental illness, rape, gender identity, teen pregnancy and other topics that have been minimally addressed, considered taboo, or not addressed at all. The importance of this book is to emphasize the importance of teaching our girls and women that their value does not lie in their beauty, sexuality, and body image or domestic duties that may impact both women and men. We must have those discussions about relevant social issues that are affecting our young girls more now than ever before. As women and the first teachers of the family it is our responsibility to provide the foundation needed to handle the challenges and pressures that they deal with on a daily basis.

Shit Adults Never Taught Us
Author: Natasha Sattler
Publisher: Natasha Sattler
ISBN:
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
A SNAPSHOT REVIEW OF THE THINGS YOU DIDN’T LEARN IN SCHOOL – IN QUICK, HILARIOUS CHAPTERS. Wouldn’t it be awesome if life had a manual? Not for your daily how-tos (like cooking or ironing) but for when the real shit pops up. The money shit we have no idea how to navigate, like negotiating a raise or buying a car. The relationship shit that slaps us in the face as we turn into full-fledged adults, like surviving a gut-wrenching breakup and having the courage to fall in love. The mind fucks that sneak into our brains after puberty like a ninja and set up camps of anxiety, loneliness, and regret. The life shit that somehow was completely ignored throughout more than a decade of schooling, like protecting your privacy online, traveling on any budget, and finding motivation when it seems impossible. We’ve made it this far, but after countless conversations with friends, it became obvious to me that our childhood education had a ton of gaps. Sure, we learned linear equations and got to dissect frogs for some reason, but no one taught us what the difference between an HMO and a PPO was and why it’s important. I took several years of Algebra but not once was a Mutual Funds class offered. That’s where Sh*t Adults Never Taught Us comes in. This book picks up where the adults left off and helps fill in all our insufficient knowledge by going beyond the Google search bar. Disguised as a self-help book, this mini-memoir uses personal experiences, including some epic failures, to guide you through the most perplexing moments in life. Shit Adults Never Taught Us covers a lot of topics: including career strategies, mental health, emotional quandaries, and navigating all of the WTF moments of adulthood.

Why Didn't They Teach Me this in School?
Author: Cary Siegel
Publisher: Createspace Independent Pub
ISBN: 9781481027564
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
Why do high schools and colleges require students to take courses in English, math and science, yet have absolutely no requirements for students to learn about personal money management?Why Didn't They Teach Me This in School? 99 Personal Money Management Lessons to Live By was initially developed by the author to pass on to his five children as they entered adulthood. As it developed, the author realized that personal money management skills were rarely taught in high schools, colleges and even in MBA programs. Unfortunately, books on the subject tend to be complicated, lengthy reads. The book includes eight important lessons focusing on 99 principles that will quickly and memorably enhance any individual's money management acumen. Unlike many of the personal money management books out there, this book is a quick, easily digested read that focuses more on the qualitative side than the quantitative side of personal money management. The principles are not from a text book. Rather, they are practical principles learned by the author as he navigated through his financial life. Many are unorthodox in order to be memorable and provoke deeper thought by the reader.
