Julie Lythcott-Haims is the New York Times bestselling author of How to Raise an Adult and Real American. She holds a BA from Stanford, a JD from Harvard Law School, and an MFA from California College of the Arts.

"Lythcott-Haims speaks frankly but respectfully to her readers,
sharing many of her own gaffs, struggles, and successes. As a
Black, biracial, and queer woman, she has faced many of the
challenges faced by her audience, and she takes on complicated
issues, including those pertaining to gender, sexuality, and
culture.... For Lythcott-Haims, success is about fulfillment, not
money. With direct, encouraging, and heartfelt advice,
Lythcott-Haims covers a lot of sensitive, relevant, and crucial
territory."
--Booklist (starred review) "Refreshingly, Lythcott-Haims avoids
talking down to readers and instead connects through vulnerability.
. . . Those overwhelmed by the demands of adulthood would do well
to check this out."
--Publishers Weekly "Lythcott-Haims's conversational prose and
can-do energy will entice readers . . . emerging with a greater
sense of what adulting means and how to proceed with confidence and
enthusiasm."
--Kirkus Reviews "Age comes naturally. Not being an adult. Your
Turn eases the painful adulting struggle. Julie Lythcott-Haims is
patient, vulnerable, incisive, and encouraging. She once landed our
parents' helicopters. Your Turn now clears a path to adulthood for
us. Let's take it."
--Ibram X. Kendi, #1 New York Times bestselling author of How to Be
an Antiracist "Julie Lythcott-Haims has long been one of America's
finest minds and fiercest voices. Now, with this remarkable book,
she establishes herself as something else: the mentor our young
people deserve. Your Turn is simultaneously electrifying and
reassuring--a jaw-dropping, spine-tingling work that will change
many lives."
--Daniel H. Pink, #1 New York Times bestselling author of When,
Drive, and A Whole New Mind "They say there's no manual for being a
grown-up, but former Stanford dean Julie Lythcott-Haims has finally
created one--and it's a must-read. Your Turn is the compassionate,
candid, comprehensive guide every young adult needs to navigate
smoothly through the world, covering everything from jobs and
finances to relationships and emotional health. Julie is part
therapist, part tell-it-like-it-is wise older friend whose wisdom
will benefit anyone who's trying to figure out this thing we call
life--which is to say, everyone."
--Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You
Should Talk to Someone "This is the one book you need to read if
you're ready to take up the challenge of becoming your true and
vital adult self. It is filled with great stories of people just
like you, told by a master storyteller. We need more adults in the
world and it really is Your Turn."
--Bill Burnett, #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of Designing
Your Life and Designing Your Work Life "As a wise person once said,
'Prepare the child for the road, not the road for the child.' In
all the discussions and debates about the challenges faced by young
people today, too little effort has been spent helping them feel
empowered, excited, and ready for the challenges of adult life.
Julie Lythcott-Haims, after her parenting masterpiece How to Raise
An Adult, has turned her skill and wisdom into a guide for living a
fulfilling, rich, and meaningful life."
--Greg Lukianoff, New York Times bestselling coauthor of The
Coddling of the American Mind
