This is a British book so some terminologies and products are not used in USA, just two examples are, on page 100 Titled "What to put in your first aid kit", there's " Physiological serum" (Saline Solution) and "Sticking Plaster" (Bandaids). I read through the book and updated the verbiage to American English terminologies before I gave it to my teenage grandsons.

This book is filled with very simple, yet extremely useful things that everyone should know before delving into adulthood. It’s a very easy read, and I finished it in a day (with annotating it!). I highly recommend this book to teens and young adults who feel anxious and scared about the stuff that they don’t teach you in high school!

Quick read. Like a checklist for items you’d want a young adult to know. Does not address spirituality.
