Dominik Mikulaschek: What school doesn't teach you - but life demands, Gebunden

Klappentext

School teaches you how to solve equations - but not how to manage real life. What School Doesn't Teach You - But Life Demands is a practical, no-jargon everyday guide for adults that covers the things you actually need to function confidently in the modern world.

Inside you'll learn how to take control of money and budgeting, manage fixed costs, build an emergency fund, avoid common debt traps, and understand what interest and inflation really do to your finances. You'll get clear, practical basics on taxes (what matters, what to watch out for, and how to handle the paperwork without losing your mind). You'll also find guidance on work and career: applications, salary basics, negotiation, and the everyday rules that matter when you sign contracts, deal with time off, or navigate problems at work.

But adult life isn't just money and work. That's why this book also helps you build systems for time management and organization - routines, priorities, focus, productivity, and simple methods to keep your tasks and documents under control. It dives into the reality of the internet and digital safety, including scams, subscriptions, passwords, privacy, and how to protect yourself from expensive mistakes online. You'll also get a practical overview of law and contracts for everyday situations like rentals, purchases, cancellations, and common subscription traps - explained in plain English.

Finally, because knowing the facts isn't enough if your head is overloaded, the book includes the most useful parts of psychology and communication: decision-making, stress, motivation, habits, boundaries, and handling conflicts without drama.

The highlight: 1, 000 amazing facts and quick-use strategies that help you avoid common pitfalls, make smarter decisions, and keep the overview - of your money, your time, and your options.

Perfect for young adults, students, first-time renters, first-job starters, and anyone who wants more control and less chaos - and finally the feeling that they know the rules of the game.
