The Week contest: Life skills
Last week's question: Millennials who are struggling to become fully-functional adults can now attend an "adulting" school in Portland, Maine, where they're taught how to cook a meal, book a dental appointment, and other useful life skills. If you were to write a self-help book for Millennials to help them survive in the adult world, what title would you give it?
