I'm a 20-something and love this guidebook!

Simona is awesome, and shares amazingly simple tips to maintaining a healthy, energetic lifestyle. I love that there is space to write in thoughts and answers as I plan on re-reading this every so often.

I received this book from a friend who thought I would enjoy it and it is chock full of great advice for all ages...but I particularly wish my 23 year old self had it back when I was wearing clogs with skirts and unshaven legs to work <shudder>.

It's easy to read, I love the part about the "Third Piece", and she covers so much ground.

I got this as a gift from a fellow foodie, and have to say how delightful and useful this book is.  I've lived in the Pacific NW for years, with many forays into Oregon and California, as well, and thought I knew a lot of the must-try eateries.  Apparently, my knowledge is sorely deficient.  This guide is going to keep me busy for a long time.

The range of eateries covered is quite diverse, and the author's reviews strike just the right balance: enough detail on each place to quickly give you a really good sense of it, but not so much info that your attention flags as you read through each section.  In addition to the brightly written reviews, there are many other features that have been incorporated into the text which make the book even more helpful and easy to use: icons to differentiate types of restaurants, web addresses, maps, road trip planning tips, suggestions on other interesting sites in each area, etc.  If you're taking a long trip, or just want to plan a modest excursion, this book will be a valuable resource and companion.  There's a lot of info squeezed between the covers, but the layout, organization, and writing style make it fun to go through.

Now, excuse me, it's time to get into my car...

My husband and I just returned from a 16 day trip to Belize, and this was definitely our favorite guidebook on the trip! We bought this book as well as Fodor's Belize, and together they were the perfect combo. The Moon book was right-on for budget travelers who want to be more than a tourist--the authors' sense of humor & interest in getting to experience new cultures really made the book. We used the local buses for transportation and tried to stay in places under $50 US (which isn't hard in Belize!), and this book was right-on with recommendations and descriptions. The only negative was that it is getting a little more out of date in regard to lodging, restaurants, and prices, but that's why we bought the Fodor's book as well (Fodor's Belize 2007 edition). Overall, this book is 5 stars, and because of it, we had an awesome trip!

I am currently using this travel guide to plan a trip to New York City next month.  It's great value for money and really easy to read.  It has lots of useful and practical tips for a first time visitor like me and it's really easy to read.
It's broken down into districts and each section has lots of really useful information about where to stay, eat and visit.  The contact information, pricing and opening times is really up to date as the book is printed to order and regularly reviewed.
I have the paper back edition as I enjoy having a book to refer too.  The maps are basic, but have enough detail to help you get your bearings.

This is a fun, useful, and motivational guide for anyone experiencing a major change in life. Perfect for recent college grads to assess what life will look like in the "real world" - but it was also great for me to pick it up after going through a divorce, moving, and starting a new career. Blake offers a plethora of prompts to get you thinking, information to guide you, and resources to support you far beyond this book.

As a mother of a 20-something, I found immeasurable insight into my own life!  My daughter then picked it up and found it to be a great beacon of guidance for her.  Definitely required reading for everyone coming of age!  I wish these concepts had been readily communicated when I was that age!

This book is made for the traveler like me!  I definitely prefer to travel without the tour bus but I also like to make the most of my days and make sure I'm getting the expert's view of new places.  I have found myself all too often spending too much time trying to plan the day instead of enjoying the day. This book seems to offer the best of both worlds! I especially like the details and pictures about transportation and Sim cards. Buying train tickets and getting in the wrong lines have been previous frustrations so I really like the detail provided about what to buy and what to do.  As an artist myself, and one who has said, "Please not one more museum", connecting with locals is the most fun part of a trip for me and I like that this is an important consideration so that the goal is not just running from one monument to the next. This book is full of practical tips to help avoid fears of traveling alone. And when I read it, it makes it all so exciting and doable!. I think they got it right when they said, "Guide to Smart Travel".

This guide is for all ages! A factual and realistic presentation for those who need answers as they navigate their transgender journey through transition and beyond. I wish I had had a guide like this 30+ years ago! It's never too late to be yourself and Dr Linda Gromko has put the information in an easily readable format with references to pursue further as needed. I will be recommending this book to all who ask me "How do I get there from where I am?"

I picked this book up and didn't put it down until I was finished. It is FANTASTIC. I found myself connecting to many of the personalities in the book. It's fantastic advice and as Meg says, "it is never too late." If you are in your 20s, you MUST read this. If you are a parent of a teenager soon to be entering their 20s, buy this book for them. They will thank you for it later in life!

I was also lucky to interview Meg on my podcast. She was just as fantastic as the book was!

Jenny is a boss :) I love her authenticity and this book is a brilliant guide for people in their twenties to navigate the many challenges of life after college.

I'm OLD and I got a lot out of it! The world was so different when I was 20-something. We had fewer tools, fewer contacts (social media gives you access to just about anyone) and fewer choices.
I'm not a millennial but a few of my children are (according to the author's definition) and so I'm really interested in how this age group is navigating work, student debt and a rapidly-changing global economy. Wilson offers a really practical but flexible framework to counter the traditional, well-worn equation of college+career=success. It's clear that the traditional path is disappointing (and bankrupting) so many but it's also familiar which is why kids keep taking it. Although there are plenty of alternatives, there's not one familiar way to follow each of those alternatives, but this book offers one.
Rather than steps, Wilson suggests phases in which to operate to move anyone (not just Millenials) toward a meaningful life that's self-defined. These three phases aren't stagnant and you'll likely revisit them throughout your life if you apply this framework.
The real stories he shared about himself and others who are doing interesting things or just going for it are both inspiring and practical. I would recommend this book to anyone in the 16-35-year-old range who's figuring out what to do with their life (or their parents who might also feel trapped in a career).
It's a quick read which makes it a good reference as you hit plateaus or barriers.

I have never been able to save money in my 20's, so I started to realize I needed guidance of some sort. So in the past year I have finally started to take my finances and savings more seriously. This book has helped guide me through places where I might otherwise be blind. Before this, I didn't even realize what I was doing wrong, nor did I have the tools to fix it.

The book outlines the fundamental basics of managing money by creating a personal budget, living within your means and managing debt. Once you get all this down you will be ready for bigger finances like investing, buying a home and planning for retirement. There is great advice for making smarter every day purchases as well as bigger ones. Now that I have a financial plan, I feel happier and more motivated because I know where my goals are and how to get there!  I would recommend this book to anyone seeking out financial guidance on their own.

The Frantic Woman's Guide to Life is the perfect book for me.  Alhtough I do not have children yet and am not married.  I am engaged, living with my fiance, working two jobs and trying to figure out this household stuff.  Since this book is grouped into months it is easy for me to pick it up during a spare moment and get some advice on stuff I would have never figured out on my own.  Thank you!

I graduated from college 4 years ago, but still find this book to be really handy for the ever-changing phases of my life. Life as a "twenty-something" is very dynamic and Susan provides tools to cope with this, as well as to leverage your unique abilities to help you move toward your goals. Although this book is geared toward "twenty-somethings," I definitely see myself picking it up throughout the rest of my life for new perspectives and ideas. It really inspires you to take action and work towards making your life what you want it to be. Or, if you're not quite sure what you want to do with your career and life yet, it helps you get to a point of discovering what your purpose is.

This was a great guide. I loved how laid back and relaxed it is, giving you suggestions of things you can perhaps knock off your list instead of pressuring you to do this, do that, and add more to your already busy schedule. The tips and suggestions were all very practical and actually applicable to my own life - in contrast to many other how-to manuals and guides out there that don't really take into consideration the broadness of the audience. This book was well organized, the formatting and editing were superb, and the writing was friendly yet professional...plus, it inspired me to do just a bit more for the holidays this year! I usually find some faults in these how-to guides, but this was very comprehensive and actually got me thinking about how to better prepare not just for Christmas, but for other upcoming occasions as well. Recommended for anyone looking for a guide to tackle the busy holiday season.

Charming illustrations, relevant, cheerful, information on how to survive relationship perils with your sanity intact.  Over forty can mean "over sixty" as well, since the Rita's "rules" are universal and relevant to any age.

She shares insightful tips, which are told in a friendly "over a cup of coffee" kind of way.

Rita Lee Lloyd's S.S.O.F.F. would make a perfect guide for anyone over ANY age and suddenly single.  I plan to send copies to all my single friends.
