Life skills, not subjects

Skills school
forgot to teach.

Three books. Ages 8 to adult. The people-reading, money and confidence skills school never covers.

Now drawing MONEY IQ

Four skills, taught three times

The same four instincts run through all three books — at the depth that age actually needs.

01 · Read people

Read People

Body language in sixty seconds, how to spot a liar, the difference between a friend and someone using you, and what a bully is really testing when they pick a target.

Kids: “How to Read Body Language in 60 Seconds”

02 · Money

Money

What “free” actually costs, why a high income doesn’t make you rich, how credit works before it hurts, and the difference between stupid debt and strategic debt.

Kids: “The Real Cost of Free Stuff” · Adults: “The Real Wealth Formula”

03 · Confidence

Confidence

Saying no to a friend — and to an adult. Handling pressure without folding. Dealing with failure, and the confidence that survives being wrong in front of people.

Kids: “When to Say No (Even to Adults)” · Teens: “Dealing With Failure”

04 · Clear thinking

Clear Thinking

The questions that solve most problems, why your brain runs on autopilot, the biases that make you wrong while feeling certain, and how to think several moves ahead.

Kids: “The One Question That Solves Most Problems” · Adults: “The Autopilot Trap”

Written by Anna

Anna spent twenty years as a child counselor and teen mentor in Dubai, listening to what kids actually worry about. These books are the shortcut she kept wishing someone had handed her — written in the age-appropriate voice of each reader, not the voice of an adult lecturing them.

“The most important skills in life are never taught in school. Until now.”

Built in public, tested on a real audience

Every lesson began as a short video that had to earn its keep. If a story didn't hold a hundred thousand parents to the end, it didn't make the book.

Straight answers

What ages is this for?

Three books, three ages. Street Smart Kids is written for 8–12 year olds, Street Smart Teens for teenagers, and Street Smart for adults. The bundle covers the whole household.

How many books do I get?

The Family Bundle is all three — $24.99 instead of $34.97 bought separately. You can also buy any single title on its own.

Is it a PDF or a physical book?

Instant PDF download. You get the file the moment you pay — no shipping, no wait, and you can print it or read it on any device.

Are the games included?

All three are free in the browser — Pipe Run, Shape Shift and Cross Sums. No account, no download. They are the practice half of the books: same skills, played instead of read.

Does the Kids book talk about scary things?

It covers bullies, strangers and online safety, but always as patterns to recognise — never as fear. The voice is a friendly older cousin, not a warning poster.

What's SMART30, and refunds?

SMART30 takes 30% off at Gumroad checkout on any title. If a book isn't right for your family, ask for a refund within 30 days — digital products don't get returned, so it's a straight yes.

Three books, four games, from age eight to adulthood. The stuff school skips.
