The 4-1-1 On Life Skills Review & *Giveaway*

The 411 On Life Skills by Michele Sfakianos

About The Book:

This is a book about the basic life skills that are not always taught in school or at home. Did you ever wonder when you were getting ready to leave home for the first time, if your parents had taught you everything you needed to know to survive on your own? Did you know how to do laundry; clean a home; balance a checkbook or cook a meal? Were you aware of the different types of deposits required to either rent or buy a home? If the answers were “yes” – good for the role models that you had! Thank them every chance you get! If the answers were “no” to most of these questions – don’t be discouraged – there is help on the way! It is my hope that this book will help those who need it and will be shared with others who can benefit from it. This is not a “be all, end all” book and it is not intended to replace knowledge received from professionals trained in certain areas. As a Registered Nurse, Life Skills Expert and a mother, I want to be able to help out the young adults of today and the next generation to come.

My Thoughts:

This is a very simple easy book to read. It is broken down into sections, so that you can look in any section that you need reference to. This is a good book for a young person going off to college, because anyone else older than that should know these very basic skills. I mean, there are things in this book from sewing, to relationship advice, to planning for your final days. It is kind of all over the place, but then, I suppose that is how it is supposed to be, because these are all basic skills for life! Interesting, quick, and knowledgeable.
