You'll learn how to search productively, how to avoid being indulgent, and how to turn good opportunities into great ones."- Po Bronson, author of What Should I Do With My Life?, co-author of Nurtureshock "I strongly recommend THE DEFINING DECADEfor anyone in their 20s trying to figure out their life's direction. "THE DEFINING DECADE just the wake up call many twentysomethings need."- The Coffin Factory "Excellently written, this book is sensitive to the emotional life of twentysomethings."- Library Journal A cogent argument for growing up and a handy guidebook on how to get there."- Kirkus Reviews "A clinical psychologist issues a four-alarm call for the 50 million 20-somethings in America. While Jay maintains that facing difficulties in one's 20s 'is a jarring-but efficient and often necessary-way to grow,' the author is sincere and sympathetic, making this well-researched mix of generational sociology, psychotherapy, career counseling, and relationship advice a practical treatise for a much-maligned demographic."- Publishers Weekly "The professional and personal angst of directionless twentysomethings is given a voice and some sober counsel in this engaging guide. "Any recent college grad mired in a quarter-life crisis or merely dazed by the freedom of post-collegiate existence should consider it required reading."-, Staff Pick "Meg Jay takes the specific complaints of twenty something life and puts them to diagnostic use."- New Yorker
29 conversations to have with your partner-or to keep in mind as you search for one.What a decade of device use has taught us about looking at friends-and looking for love-online.Up-to-date research on work, love, the brain, friendship, technology, and fertility.The result is a provocative read that provides the tools necessary to take the most of your twenties, and shows us how work, relationships, personality, identity and even the brain can change more during this decade than at any other time in adulthood-if we use the time well. In The Defining Decade, Meg Jay argues that twentysomethings have been caught in a swirl of hype and misinformation, much of which has trivialized the most transformative time of our lives.ĭrawing from more than two decades of work with thousands of clients and students, Jay weaves the latest science of the twentysomething years with behind-closed-doors stories from twentysomethings themselves. Some say they are an extended adolescence. Our "thirty-is-the-new-twenty" culture tells us the twentysomething years don't matter. Revised and reissued for a new generation, let it change how you think about you and yours.
The Defining Decade has changed the way millions of twentysomethings think about their twenties-and themselves.
