Secrets of Adulthood Deck

52 Simple Reflections for Our Complex Lives

Add a dose of inspiration to your day with this deck of 52 cards featuring encouraging quotes and artwork from #1 New York Times bestselling author and happiness expert Gretchen Rubin.

The right idea, invoked at the right time, can change our lives.

Secrets of Adulthood Deck is full of just those kinds of ideas. Acclaimed author Gretchen Rubin has studied happiness for years, and through that work has discovered many “Secrets of Adulthood” that can help us live with greater clarity and fulfillment. To convey her conclusions, she turned to the aphorism—the ancient literary discipline, similar to affirmations, in which a writer conveys a large truth in just a few words.

This deck collects 52 aphorisms to help manage the complexity of life and offer inspiration. Packaged alongside a wooden stand that acts a card holder, each beautifully designed card can act as a mantra for morning meditation, a prompt for journaling, or a bit of wisdom to share with a friend. Pull one each week for a year full of reflection and growth, or simply use one whenever you need some extra motivation. Secrets of Adulthood Deck is a beautiful gift for anyone transitioning into the work force, navigating a life change, or just looking for some timeless advice.
