Don't Wear Shoes You Can't Walk In

By Michelle Douglas
Don't Wear Shoes You Can't Walk In by Michelle Douglas digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

"Why is this moment happening in my life and what can I learn from it?" 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 . . .  equips twentysomethings (and beyond) with powerful tools to enrich their lives and take their next steps forward with confidence.
