“Nora Bradbury-Haehl has written a gamechanger. Her latest book provides everything a twentysomething person needs to know (and probably doesn’t) to lead a productive, meaningful, and self-sufficient life. Whether the topic is relationships, housing, self-care, finances, or the job market, The Twentysomething Handbook offers practical, actionable tips. But even more important, this guide helps young adults do what they need and hope for most: making their lives matter. Highly recommended!”

“What a terrific resource, and not just for young adults! The Twentysomething Handbook is a guidebook for navigating a chaotic and life-giving stage in your journey. Though focused on young adults and the myriad issues they confront, this handbook is valuable for anyone experiencing life’s transitions. Not only does Nora clearly describe a wide range of lifestyle concerns including money, jobs, relationships, renting, and even meals, she explores the personal challenges of dealing with transitions, grief, forgiveness, mental health, and more. The voices, insights, and experiences of young adults are interspersed throughout the book, adding realism and authenticity to the insights provided. Each chapter also includes action items and nuggets of advice that succinctly capture the focus. The Twentysomething Handbook is a comprehensive companion for everyone meandering through these wonderful years.”
“Nora Bradbury-Haehl has penned a treasure-trove of discernment, real-world practical advice, and self-help methods. Twentysomethings will find this book indispensable because of its down-to-earth candor from their peers and those who have mentored them.”
“In my years of working in campus ministry, it has become increasingly clear that young adults struggle with transitions, and that we have very few tools and structures to help manage those complicated transitions. In her first book, The Freshman Survival Guide, Nora Bradbury-Haehl brought a wealth of wisdom and experience to the transition from home to campus. In her new book she’s tackled the next critical inflection point: from campus to establishing one’s own independent (and interdependent) life. For young adults wondering, “I’m twenty-five, why don’t I know how to cook, manage my finance, or make friends?” this book is brimming with good advice, real wisdom, and reassurance. If the expectations and requirements of ‘adulting’ seem daunting or anxiety-producing, this book isn’t just helpful, it’s a lifeline.”
“The Twentysomething Handbook is a jam-packed comprehensive guide that gives twentysomethings the essential information they need to make a smooth transition to everything after college!”
