Hey Dad...: Everything You Should've Learned About Life (But Didn't)

Hey Dad… is the ultimate guide for young adults stumbling into adulthood, packed with the life lessons you thought they would magically know by now—like how to land a job, manage money, and avoid putting diesel in their gas engine (yep, that happened).

Stepping into adulthood feels like taking a leap off a cliff—one that you are not quite prepared for. From figuring out how to land your first job to managing your finances, renting your first apartment, and not panicking when your car breaks down, “adulting” can feel overwhelming. That’s where Hey Dad… comes in.

Written by Rob Finlay, a dad of four who’s been on the receiving end of countless late-night “Hey Dad, how do I…?” phone calls, this book offers the life lessons you never knew you needed until you found yourself Googling “how to fix a circuit breaker” at 2 a.m.

With advice from experts on everything from job hunting and personal finance to starting your own business, plus real stories about successes and failures that make adulthood feel like a never-ending learning curve, Hey Dad… is your go-to guide for surviving—and thriving—through life’s most confusing transitions.

Whether you’re just graduated, moving into your first place, or just trying to figure out how to keep it all together, this book will help you approach adulthood with confidence, humor, and maybe a little less Googling.
