Growing up can be a hazardous journey. One minute, you're a carefree kid. The next, you're juggling exams, screens, relationship dramas, weird emotions, and the reality of entering the adult world.

This isn't just another book - it's a survival guide for the wild ride from boy to man. Packed with insight, science, stories, and straight-up advice, it covers the stuff they don't teach you in school. You'll learn how to handle pressure, boost confidence, bounce back from setbacks, and build the kind of mindset that keeps you strong - no matter what life throws at you.

¿ Build great habits

LADULT doesn't shy away from the big stuff. It tackles screen time, testosterone, porn, neurodiversity, and toxic masculinity head-on. No fluff. No filters. Just real talk, with a good dose of humour.
Buckle up. This is your route map through adolescence towards becoming the adult you want to be.
