My niece turns 18 later this month. I'm getting her a Kindle and loading it up with as many "welcome to adult" books as I can.
Not really "self-help" books per se, but more "understanding your life and place in the world now that you're finally recognized by society as an adult". Here's the first few books I put on the list for ideas of what I'm going for (all non-fiction so far but I'm open to any fiction that fits the bill):
I would include Sapiens and Homo Deus on the list but I know she's already read or reading them (after I gifted them to my brother / her dad and he passed them on to her).
What would you add to the list? What books do you wish someone had given you at this age that would have helped you navigate your early adulthood?

Question for the European contingent regarding teenage/minor nudity

I'm aware of the more relaxed approach to sexuality and bare breasts among some European countries as compared to elsewhere in the world, but how is this viewed when it comes to teens? I've watched a few series in the past few months (e.g. Dark, Les Revenants, La Casa de Papel) that featured topless characters in the 15-17 age range participating in sex scenes, and while I knew the actors were definitely older than 18, I couldn't help feeling a little squicky since they were ostensibly portraying minors. Is this considered at all controversial? I imagine cultural factors like lower ages of consent or Romeo and Juliet laws might have some relevance here? I can't really draw on any examples besides those three series... I know that Mignonnes had its fair share of controversy in the US (despite not showing any actual nudity AFAIK) as it seemed to be a story on the sexualization of pubescent girls, but I never followed how it was received in France.
As a matter of fact, I'm interested in hearing from other parts of the world too.

Hey folks,
since I'm completely out of the loop regarding trends but totally interested in being a 'cool uncle', I am asking you (maybe people having kids around this age) for help!
What is a 'good' present for a 15 year old girl?
I don't know much about her interests or activities and since she is quite new to the family, I haven't had the chance to talk to her.
Is there anything 'universal' today that might work? 😅
Thanks for your thoughts and discussion.
