Don't Wear Shoes You Can't Walk In: A Field Guide for Your Twenties

Michelle Douglas asked and answered this question almost every day for ten years, writing down one thing she learned each day from ages twenty-one to thirty-one. In these pages, she shares her experiences and learnings from the adventures that lie ahead for young adults--moving, working, loving, losing, quitting, building, and more, all while attempting to maintain a strong sense of self.

Written for anyone just starting out or suddenly starting over, this field guide--part advice book, part journal--will help you discover the very important yet not-so-obvious lessons to be learned in your own life right now. Things like . . .

• the weakness isn't necessarily where the leak is
  
• surround yourself with people who are willing to lift while they climb
  
• you can't change the shape of a piece to force it into your puzzle
  
• don't go looking for love, go looking for things you love to do
  
• it's what you bring to the table, not how long you've been sitting at it
