Synopsis: A practical guide to achieving life success as told through the inspiring and humorous accounts of the author and other young adults. Part self-help, part memoir, Destination Awesome is both a beacon and a road map that will help young adults of every background achieve independence, success, and fulfillment. No matter if you’re living with your parents, in school housing, or couch-surfing; no matter if you have big dreams, simple plans, or are unsure of what you want to do with your life; no matter the money in your bank, the challenges you face or the number of contacts in your phone, the simple, relatable lessons in Destination Awesome will help you create the life you desire. Destination Awesome covers every strategy through Mueller’s own experiences as well as those of other young adults who have succeeded against all odds. Mueller reveals how she became the only member of her family to escape a poverty-stricken, unstable, and physically and emotionally wounding environment. She grabs at your heart, pulls you in, and offers a distinctive perspective on achievement. Whether your challenges are the same as these young adults—a negative home environment, drug addiction, a physical ailment, unplanned pregnancy, homelessness, cockroach infestation, uncontrollable vomiting—or something completely different, the strategies you’ll learn will help you create your awesome life.
