Get Out of My Life: The bestselling guide to the twenty-first-century teenager

Product Information

But what happens when you strip away all your titles (father, boss, wife, etc.)? Who are you without the job, the family, the material possessions? Without the expectations of society or the viewpoints of other people, who are you? Do you even know? Can you describe yourself in light of who you are and not what you do or what you have? You need to know who you are without all the extras. That’s the first step. Because it will be impossible to get the most out of life, if you’re chasing a life that is best suited for the person you think you are. Our laments that we would never have acted this way with our parents are in fact well-founded. Today's teens are different because as a society we have correctly agreed not to wallop our kids and have thus removed the element of fear and a powerful controlling element from the parenting equation. Now that we understand that kids are acting true to their nature and we can't take them to the wood shed for it, how do we respond? Do you feel discontent, out of sorts, and forever wanting more due to the monotony of your existence? Do you see others doing so much more with their lives, with seemingly fewer opportunities than you’ve been given?

A study by the London School of Economics found that volunteering also helps to create the happiness effect. According to this study, people were 7% more likely to say they felt “very happy” if they volunteered monthly, 12% if they volunteered twice a month, and 16% if they volunteered weekly. I recently ran into a former professor/friend of mine and after saying hello, I launched into an "All Teenagers are Evil," rant. When I slowed down to take a breath, she suggested that I read this book and I am glad that I did. Overall, the book has some really interested tidbits. I learned: If you’re tired of the endless cycle of work, bills, and home and want to get the most out of life, keep reading to discover 18 ways to do just that.Only when you are sound in body AND mind can you make the most out of your life. Visit a doctor, get the necessary treatment (if any), and move on. 8. Be present. For example, if your ideal life includes visiting every country in the world, that means within a specific amount of time you need to visit 195 countries. Step one might be to figure out how many countries a year you’d need to visit to hit your goal, while step two could be to get a passport. These are two easily achievable steps that would take a few hours to get done and cross off. Whatever it is, you’ve reached a point where you are no longer satisfied with where you’re at in life. You have started to wonder if there is more to it than your present reality. The benefits of volunteering encompass physical, mental, and social well-being. 12. Do things you love.

Intuitively, we know when we’re not working to our capacity. That’s usually around the time when boredom sets in. We’re not excited about what we’re doing; it feels monotonous because subconsciously we know that we’re working below our abilities. In fact, you are the solution to someone’s problem. If you don’t show up at full capacity, their problem may remain unsolved. Being and doing less doesn’t help anyone, including you.

1. Know yourself.

An added benefit of being grateful is that gratitude encourages more positive emotions. The more you find to be grateful for, the happier you become. 10. Challenge yourself. Stop settling for average when you know inside that you can do much more. Think of it this way: you are not being true to yourself by being or doing less than what you are capable of. Focusing on a negative outcome doesn’t make it any less likely to happen. So, why not focus and prepare for a positive one? As hard as it may seem, forgiving others may actually be easier than not forgiving them in the long run. It’s easy to feel inadequate when you compare the reality of your life, with all of its challenges, against the idyllic, picture-perfect, perception of another person’s life.
