In Claim Your Inner Grown-up, Ashley Davis Prend, A.C.S.W., stands a now tried-&-true concept on its head by offering a revolutionary, four-pillar program that dares readers to become adults. An inspirational guide that provides guidance beyond the scope of most self-help books, Claim Your Inner Grown-up shows us how we can develop & improve our lives by becoming more mature, loving, responsible, & spiritual. By incorporating the DARE thought system into our lives (Detach, Alert, Reorient, Enact), we can become happier & more productive in the long-term, discover the satisfaction & fulfillment that quick-fix solutions don't provide. Through Prend's unique, liberating approach, we gain insight into our psyches & begin to develop a solid sense of self without giving up the positive, childlike qualities that also make us who we are.

A much-needed antidote to the indulgent trends of the '80s & '90s, this wise, compassionate handbook will help readers become authentic adults without losing the innocence, freedom, & beauty that also comprise our best selves.
