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.

Go ahead and take a moment to enter your name into the search engine. I’ll wait. Are you back? Great! What pops up first? Do you even show up at all? What does the world have to say about you? What do your social networks have to say to anyone else who might Google you?

Grady Harp "I have never thought of associating "branding" with an individual, after I read this book I realized how important branding is to everyone. This book shows that personal branding could help in every aspect of the career, to win a job, to get your boss's approval, to seal a deal... there are case studies in this book to prove all these. The author also introduces useful offline and online tools for branding yourself. I particularly like how the online tools were introduced in detail. For non tech-savvy guys like me, having a guide to creating a blog, managing the server issues, using LinkedIn and all sorts of technical matters surely saves lots of time." Moore Ronson "Mark Cijo paints a good picture for you on how to market yourself, how to get your message out there, how to gain the accolades that you deserve." William D. Curnutt aka Pastor Dan "My favorite part of this book is when the author highlights four successful brands and shows how you can apply the techniques of their success to your own personal branding. I hadn't thought so deeply about how to an analytical approach to my self presentation online, and I loved both the information and the advice on how to track my progress."
