Personal Review: How to Be an Adult: A Handbook for
Psychological and Spiritual Integration by David Richo
Some authors speak too much either creating confusion reducing the
effectiveness of the knowledge they want to impart, or giving the message
that there is a too much to be understood. Many good books have gone
unread because of the sheer volume of text. Others speak too little leaving
the audience wanting for more.
Here is an author who has spoken the right amount. The book is only 145
small pages.
The ideal person benefiting from this book is one who has an element of
self-awareness. Put differently, the ideal reader has prior exposure to
basic psychology, has made efforts towards emotional well-being and self-
development, and has made attempts enquiring into the spirituality of the
self. For such a person, each sentence in "How to be an adult" appears
pregnant with meaning.
What the author says about how the book must be used is very true. Any
topic such as hurt, guilt, anger or fear can be taken with an attempt to
understand its causes and manifestations, followed by ways to resolve it
out. "Completing" the book in the traditional sense is therefore never the
objective. Rather, sentences or paragraphs are read and gradually
digested like a cow chews the cud. Any part of the book can be read at
any time. That is the beauty of the book.
The author assumes that the word "Adult" in the title means emotionally
stable and spiritually growing. Hence the expanded form of the title might
be "How to grow into an emotionally stable and spiritually integrated
person".
This book will strengthen the reader's appreciation of emotional well-being,
increasing the person's commitment for emotional growth, and as a

consequence, opening up numerous avenues to achieve the same in daily
life.
