Finding Your Way In Early Adulthood: Working Out What You Want & Choosing How to ‘Be’

For many young people today, the question after high school is, ‘What now?’ Suddenly faced with new freedoms and new responsibilities, life can become very confusing, very fast. Fixed mindsets can cause missed opportunities. Life changes can evoke stress. Young people lose agency of their own life when they merely react to the world around them. Finding Your Way in Early Adulthood challenges readers to take charge of their life by working out what they really want. It encourages them to consider new perspectives that lead to wise choice-making and positive outcomes. It shows them how to break down tricky situations and emerge with a positive course of action.
