New York Times 畅销书作家朱莉·利思科特-海姆斯回来了，她给冰球突破豪华版带来了一本冰球突破豪华版如何成为成年人的坦率指南.What does it mean to be an adult? In the twentieth century, psychologists came up with five markers of adulthood: finish your education, get a job, leave home, marry, and have children. Since then, every generation has been held to those same markers. 然而，自从这个顺序形成以来，世界和生活在其中的人发生了如此大的变化. All of those markers are choices, and they’re all valid, 但是，任何一个人在这些方面的选择都不会使他们或多或少地成为成年人.

前斯坦福大学新生和本科生指导主任，常年畅销书的作者 How to Raise an Adult and of the lauded memoir Real American, 朱莉·利思科特-海姆斯(Julie Lythcott-Haims)遇到过数百名20多岁(和30多岁)的年轻人, too), who, faced with those markers, feel they’re just playing the part of “adult,” while struggling with anxiety, stress, and general unease. In Your Turn, Julie offers compassion, personal experience, and practical strategies for living a more authentic adulthood, 以及通过采访几十个来自丰富多样的人群的声音而获得的灵感，这些人已经成功地开始了他们的成年生活. 

Being an adult, it turns out, is not about any particular checklist; it is, instead, a process, 随着时间的推移，你可以逐渐变得更好——变得更适应不确定性，并获得继续前进的诀窍. Once you begin to practice it, 成为一个成年人是最复杂的，但也是最丰富的回报和自然的事情. And Julie Lythcott-Haims is here to help readers take their turn.
