What I Wish I'd Known When I Was Single: How to Do Life As a Young Adult

John offers "The Parable of the Piano" as a metaphor for the young adult experience; sitting alone on a piano bench with a piece of music, "Matrimony: A Duet" propped up in front of you. As people come by and offer their suggestions ("You could play that music if you tried harder" or "if you had more faith" or "if you weren't so picky"), things can get pretty frustrating. "Don't get too discouraged," John counsels, and he goes on to offer plenty of sound advice on "getting joyfully through these in-between years."You'll learn to stop focusing on things you can't control, to play the dating game in such a way that you'll have no regrets later, to express affection appropriately, to recognize when someone might be the "right one" for you--and when that someone might not be.
