About this book
You''ve graduated from college. Now what?
It''s a question that everyone in your position has to answer. But as soon as you ask it, that one question can lead to countless others: Who am I? Where am I going? What are my passions in life? Am I making the right decisions? Why is it so difficult to meet people? Will I ever find a job that I love? Will I ever truly be happy? And once you think you''ve found the answers, you still have to do--something.
Your academic education has prepared you for practical tasks like finding a job or a place to live, but many of the challenges you''ll face after college require a different set of skills that are psychological in nature. This book can help you develop these skills by putting the most cutting-edge psychological research at your fingertips to help you overcome the obstacles you''ll face throughout this trying and exciting time in your life.
