The Girl’s Guide To Conquering Life!

It’s really not just for teen girls, either!

The publisher’s blurb:

There’s a lot a girl needs to know as she grows up and makes her way in the world. Having a reference guide of practical how-to life skills and character traits can empower her to become a confident and capable woman. Coauthors Erica and Jonathan Catherman offer this collection of step-by-step instructions on 100 things girls need to succeed, including how to

– introduce yourself
– change a flat tire
– respectfully break up with a guy
– leave a tip
– apply for a job
– ask for a promotion
– behave during a police stop
– create a personal budget
– calculate square footage
– wash your face
– clear a clogged drain
– iron a shirt
– wear a scarf
– shoot a basketball
– sharpen kitchen knives
– and much more

In fact, if it’s in here, it’s an important skill or character trait practiced by capable and confident women. With great illustrations and sidebars of advice from world-class experts, this all-in-one reference tool for young women in the making is the perfect gift for birthdays, graduations, or any occasion.

What I thought of the book:

Seriously, how many of us couldn’t use a refresher course in a lot of these things? To be honest, this review is coming in late because I have been busy wearing myself out (mainly mentally!) learning a brand new job – and I was using some of these tips at all my interviews! I can also attest to the fact that YES you really do need to know the proper way to sharpen and maintain your kitchen knives, and how to leave a correct tip, how to introduce yourself, and how to create a personal budget. (Yeah, that one I’m working on…)

Please don’t assume this is only for those under the age of 21, because there are so many little tidbits women of all ages can pick up from this book. It will make a wonderful gift for any occasion, and one that will teach life lessons that everyone needs to learn for a better day to day life.

Definitely a keeper!
