It's Not Fair

Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
Hey, you. Are you debating whether to destroy something with your bare hands or curl up on the couch for a decade or two? This book will solve all of your problems. (Sheesh, that's aiming a bit high.) This book is a cup of hot coffee, a ginormous bar of chocolate, or the magical fairy that comes over and does your dishes while you lie in the fetal position clutching a fluffy pillow. Sometimes when life falls apart the only acceptable response is hysterical laughter. When things get so far gone, so spectacularly a world away from any plans you made or dreams you dreamed, you feel it bubbling up inside of you and you scream, "It's not fair!" And it isn't. Fair is an illusion, and life is weird. This book will help you laugh at life's absurd backhands. This book is an empathetic groan of our collective unfairnesses. You might want to throw it across the room, and you might want to hug it like your new best friend. This book is about us sitting down together in our shared mess, taking a deep breath, gripping hands, looking the hard stuff in its beady little eyeballs, and bahahahaaing at it. Life's not fair, but we can learn to love this life we didn't choose.

Book Description
The New York Times Bestseller Fear. Grief. Loss. Betrayal. Rachel Hollis has felt all those things, and she knows you have too. Now, she takes you to the other side. With her signature humor, heartfelt honesty, and intimate true-life stories, #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Hollis shows readers how to seize difficult moments for the learning experiences they are and the value and growth they provide. Rachel Hollis sees you. As the millions who read her #1 New York Times bestsellers Girl, Wash Your Face and Girl, Stop Apologizing, attend her RISE conferences and follow her on social media know, she also wants to see you transform. When it comes to the “hard seasons” of life—the death of a loved one, divorce, loss of a job—transformation seems impossible when grief and uncertainty dominate your days. Especially when, as Didn’t See that Coming reveals, no one asks to have their future completely rearranged for them. But, as Rachel writes, it is up to you how you come through your pain—you can come through changed for the better, having learned and grown, or stuck in place where your identity becomes rooted in what hurt you. To Rachel, a life well-lived is one of purpose, focused only on the essentials. This is a small book about big feelings: inspirational, aspirational, and an anchor that shows that darkness can co-exist with the beautiful.

For example, did you know??70% of new college graduates are still financially dependent on their parents two years later - but every $5,000 of assistance they give you could cost them $20,000 when they retire?

(See Chapter 2)?On the first day of your first job, any one of several mistakes could cost you thousands of dollars within a year? (See Chapter 3)?The average 25-year-old has $3,000 of credit card debt, and is likely paying 50% extra for every item they charge to their credit card? (See Chapter 5)?The retirement savings you put away before your 30th birthday might matter more than all the money you put away for the rest of your career? (See Chapter 6)?The average college graduate changes jobs three times before turning 30 - but hasn't saved enough money to live on between jobs? (See Chapter 9)?A new college graduate has a 25% chance of being arrested before age 26 - and the police are allowed to lie about what evidence they have in order to extract a confession? (See Chapter 11)?91% of couples with children describe parenting as the greatest joy of their life - yet most parents struggle to meet the $250,000 average cost of raising a child? (See Chapter 15) Life Beyond College: Everything They Didn't Teach You About Your First 10 Years After Graduation explains dozens of important issues you're about to face and gives you practical advice on how to deal with them. No vague philosophizing, no clichéd bromides, and certainly no judgment - just 318 pages of specific, up-to-date facts and concrete strategies designed to help you start the next stage of your life on the right foot and avoid early mistakes that could set you back for years.
