- "How should I negotiate my salary when I'm offered a new job?"
- "Should I claim standard or itemized deductions on my taxes?"
- "How should I tip while traveling abroad?"
- "How do I read the wine list without breaking out a dictionary?"
- And much more....

Reviews for How to Skimm Your Life
36 ratings5 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book is very basic. Well be good for tweens
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5An excellent read for young person or just someone that needs a general overview of some of the most important things and understanding and managing their life.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Perfectly crafted to have crisp overview of different important dimensions needed to have a better life.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Complete waste of time. Although the beginning of the book was intriguing(discussing wine), I felt the rest of the book was rushed and written more for the "Kardashian" type reader who lacks any brain cells; it was not just the content, but the language used and the writing style of the author(s) which was dumbed down to cater to anyone who has skipped through ALL news and/or life in general. There is absolutely no need for this book-try google or Wikipedia instead.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Everyone born after 1985ish needs to read this book. All the things you need to know, but dont know because 1) they arent taught in school or 2) they are so confusing you cant remember them. Topics covered that aim found valuable: health insurance, credit scores, investing, world history. I'm 25 yo?
