Becoming Your Best Self

We swear were not trying to turn you into a premature adult! We dont want you trudging around in a small suit with a briefcase or wedging yourself under the sink to fix the plumbing in your bathroom. But we do think youll be a happier person if you learn the skills in this book some of which you probably already know, others of which people probably think you already know (shhhh), and all of which will come in handy pretty much immediately. The truth is that it feels good to do meaningful things, and it feels good to be appreciated, and these skills pretty much guarantee a combination of those two good feelings.

Look, we understand that maybe you didnt pick this book out all on your own. Maybe your grown-ups even passive-aggressively gave it to you for your birthday along with a pair of rubber gloves and a plunger. (Youre welcome!) But it doesnt really matter, because were convinced that a lot of the tasks we tend to think of as chores can be truly rewarding especially if you have a chance to step toward them with confidence rather than being backed into them by that bulldozer of nagging otherwise known as your mom or dad. Or maybe by the time youre reading this, theres a robot that can do all of the household chores! Perfect. Put this book aside to show your children one day. Before we had robots, we had to water the plants and wipe the kitchen counters ourselves! youll say, and the kids will shake their heads and pity you.

One thing we know: asking, What can I do to help? is a sure way to be your best self. And with this book in hand, you wont have to say awkwardly, Um, I dont actually know how to do that!

A note: if you have different abilities neurologically, cognitively, or physically then some of these skills might require various kinds of adaptation and hacking.

Someone can feel looked after by you without you doing anything at all. You could be just smiling or sitting nearby. But some situations require more active caretaking, and these are a handful of them.
