THE PRICE OF NOW: Unspoken Laws of the Adult World
What if everything you were taught about adulthood was only half the truth?
You were never given the rulebook. Only expectations. Assumptions. Pressure dressed as praise.
The adult world doesn't scream its lessons -- it whispers them through deadlines, disappointments, and quiet compromises. And by the time you notice, you've already paid the price.
THE PRICE OF NOW: Unspoken Laws of the Adult Worldis not another motivational pep talk. It's a clear-eyed reckoning -- a lyrical, brutally honest look at what it really costs to live awake in a world built on illusion.
Tommy Yeo writes with poetic precision and surgical empathy. Every line cuts through the noise of performative success to expose the hidden mechanics of modern adulthood: why we chase validation over peace, confuse control for security, and keep pretending exhaustion is progress.
Divided into six unapologetic parts -- Awareness, Boundaries, Power, Loss, Control, and Ownership -- this book reads like both a mirror and a map. Each section ends with reflections that help you apply its lessons to your own life:
What It Really Means, How This Plays Out in Real Life, Hard Truth, and Awareness.
No filler. No soft landings. Just truth, clarity, and calm where chaos used to live.
Readers call THE PRICE OF NOW "a straight-shooting journey of self-analysis and awakening." Many find themselves journaling, rethinking relationships, and reconnecting with their own grounded sense of strength. One reader wrote:
"You do not owe your nervous system to everyone who knows your name."
That single line changed the way I saw myself -- and the world around me.
This book doesn't just expose the hidden rules of adulthood -- it helps you rewrite them. It's for anyone who feels overextended, overlooked, or quietly asking, Is this all there is?
It's for those who want to stop performing confidence and start building it.
If you've ever felt the weight of expectation, the pull of perfection, or the silence of pretending -- this book will speak to you in the language you forgot you needed.
It won't save you.
But it might finally explain why no one else did.
Read it slowly.
Read it when you're ready.
But once you do, you'll never see adulthood the same way again.
