Summary

Based on Matt Shirley's popular Instagram account @mattsurelee, this smart and hilarious guide is a collection of tables, lists, and charts for all the visual learners out there striving to be a successful grown-up。

We all know the particular pain that comes with having to be an actual adult, whether it's resetting your internet password on ten different sites, yearning for an excuse to get out of the plans your wife made for you months ago, or the anxiety that comes from forcing yourself to work out again。

When Matt Shirley became fed up with being a grown-up, he started drawing charts as a more fun and efficient way to cope with his frustrations, and stuck them up on Instagram where they became an instant hit。 Packed with over one hundred charts, graphs, diagrams, and infographics—with 50 percent brand-new material—this hilarious collection vows to explain everything you need to know about how to be a grown-up, covering work, family, and friends, to dating, breakups, and more。

From explaining the cycle of adulthood to decoding the pros and cons of first dates to understanding the corporate lingo translator, Shirley's charts cut to the core of how to be an adult in the funniest possible way。

This wasn't the best。 I get you have to have tempered expectations, but I suppose I went in thinking it'd be a bit funnier。 Don't get me wrong, there were a few of the 130+ charts/graphics that were funny, some really funny。 But, I felt like the lion's share of these were simply re-hashing the same jokes over and over again, often just attaching different labels to the same underlying graphic structure。 Lots of jokes about (lack of) sex, nobody loving you, masturbation, having zero motivation, g This wasn't the best。 I get you have to have tempered expectations, but I suppose I went in thinking it'd be a bit funnier。 Don't get me wrong, there were a few of the 130+ charts/graphics that were funny, some really funny。 But, I felt like the lion's share of these were simply re-hashing the same jokes over and over again, often just attaching different labels to the same underlying graphic structure。 Lots of jokes about (lack of) sex, nobody loving you, masturbation, having zero motivation, getting nothing done, etc。 (to be clear, I'm fine with joking about any and everything in the book, but after a while it just felt childish and re-hashed)。 There was even a graphic that was literally the exact same thing as what was presented just four pages before (page 134 and page 138)。 This will keep your attention for a small amount of time and give you a few chuckles。 Having said that, I wouldn't recommend spending money on it and probably not the time to read through it unless it's all you've got。 。。。more

Grey job, Matt! I’ve followed you for awhile now on IG and I’m proud of you for putting your charts and graphs together for a funny book。 I really enjoyed it and had some laugh out loud moments。 This book will definitely be living on my coffee table。

21。 yüzyılda kapitalist kent soylu beyaz yakalı köle (!) stereotype'ı olarak bu adamın işlerine bayılıyorum。 kara mizah, ürkünç komik, melankolik sarcasm içeren chartlar。 "it's deep man。。。" deyip hüzünle uzaklara bakıp eldeki birayı kafayı diktikten sonra siktir diyerek gülmek gibi。 ucuz ama değil。 umarım bi gün benim olursun :( 21。 yüzyılda kapitalist kent soylu beyaz yakalı köle (!) stereotype'ı olarak bu adamın işlerine bayılıyorum。 kara mizah, ürkünç komik, melankolik sarcasm içeren chartlar。 "it's deep man。。。" deyip hüzünle uzaklara bakıp eldeki birayı kafayı diktikten sonra siktir diyerek gülmek gibi。 ucuz ama değil。 umarım bi gün benim olursun :( 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it, click here。 Funny at times, boring and predictable at others。 If there weren't so many blatant references to sex, alcohol, and weed, I'd say it would make a cute Christmas present for a teenager-- alas, I would only give this to a person who has never seen the internet, because most of the content of this book is just a regurgitation of all the memes talking about how much adulthood sucks。 It had potential but was just too long and too stale。 Funny at times, boring and predictable at others。 If there weren't so many blatant references to sex, alcohol, and weed, I'd say it would make a cute Christmas present for a teenager-- alas, I would only give this to a person who has never seen the internet, because most of the content of this book is just a regurgitation of all the memes talking about how much adulthood sucks。 It had potential but was just too long and too stale。 。。。more
