By Daniel Ward

Life Skills They Should Have Taught in School - The Essential Guide to Navigating Adulthood

Ever wondered why school taught you Pythagoras' theorem but not how to file your taxes? Or why you can recite Shakespeare but have no idea how to negotiate a pay rise? Life Skills They Should Have Taught in School is here to fill in the gaps.

This book is your ultimate guide to handling the everyday challenges of adulthood with confidence. Whether you're fresh out of school, moving out for the first time, or just looking to sharpen your life skills, this book covers everything you need to know - from managing money and cooking proper meals to dealing with landlords, improving relationships, and even handling tricky conversations at work.

Inside, you'll discover:
✅ How to budget without feeling broke and start investing without a finance degree
✅ What HMRC actually wants from you (and how to avoid scary tax letters)
✅ How to cook five easy, delicious meals that aren't just beans on toast
✅ The secrets to negotiating - whether it's a better salary or a refund for something that broke
✅ The essentials of first aid, including when to call 111 or head to A&E
✅ The laws that protect you as a tenant, employee, and consumer in the UK
✅ Social media do's and don'ts (because your online footprint lasts forever)
✅ How to build healthy relationships, avoid toxic people, and resolve conflicts like an adult
✅ Productivity hacks to help you stop procrastinating and actually get things done

Packed with practical advice, easy-to-follow tips, and a bit of humour, this is the book every young adult (and let's be honest, plenty of older ones too) needs.
