Preparation for life. They dont teach this in school

A book for girls and women who want to understand themselves, others, and life before it starts to present its most difficult lessons.

For young women aged 17–25 who:

Know the rules of the Russian language but struggle to articulate their desires and boundaries.

Solve math problems but dont know how to manage their own money.

Can write essays but haven't learned to express their opinions confidently in real life.

Spot errors in text but dont always notice manipulation in communication.

Know whats right according to textbooks but dont know how to do whats right for themselves.

Get grades for knowledge but lack the skills truly needed in adult life.

I wrote this book because the question how should I do whats right? often hides a desire to stop making mistakes in the most important things..

When I moved to the capital, I had one small suitcase with cheap clothes and an unwavering belief that if I worked hard, life would be fair.

I was wrong..
