Described as the swiss-army knife of contemporary Australian culture, containing just about everything (over 1,000 tips) a person aged 14-30 should be taught (but usually isn?t) in order to live a comfortable and stress free life. Written in a frank, humorous, down-to-earth, easy to read style, the book has been produced based on the theory that the majority of young Australians do not have the time nor the patience to read an entire non-fiction book solely just about one topic (and if they attempt to they soon become bored because of the rigid style in which the information has been written). Australia is the largest consumer of magazines in the world, and hence it has condensed 23 differing chapters that will interest nearly every single reader that falls under the 14-30yr demographic. The book is a non-fiction, tongue-in-cheek, yet very informative self-help book designed to share knowledge and life lessons which will help the reader improve the remainder of their life.
