À propos de cet audio
New York Times best-selling psychologist Dr. Meg Jay uses real stories from real lives to provide smart, compassionate, and constructive advice about the crucial (and difficult) years we cannot afford to miss.
Our "30-is-the-new-20" culture tells us the 20-something years don't matter. Some say they are a second adolescence. Others call them an emerging adulthood. Dr. Meg Jay, a clinical psychologist, argues that 20-somethings have been caught in a swirl of hype and misinformation, much of which has trivialized what is actually the most defining decade of adulthood.
Drawing from almost two decades of work with hundreds of clients and students, The Defining Decade weaves the latest science of the 20-something years with the behind-closed-doors stories from 20-somethings, themselves. The result is a provocative listen that provides the tools necessary to make the most of your 20s, and shows us how work, relationships, personality, social networks, identity, and even the brain can change more during this decade than at any other time in adulthood - if we use the time wisely.
The Defining Decade is a smart, compassionate and constructive book about the years we cannot afford to miss.

I felt this to my bones, it's a quote from a 20-something client of the author that's shared within the book.
At the time of writing this review, I'm 25, turning 26 shortly.
I loved this book. I felt like the author perfectly pinpointed so many of the fears and thoughts and "stuck between a rock and a vast expanse of water" feeling I've been overwhelmed with many times in recent years.
Being simultaneously caught up in the sense that I should use my 20s to "live my life" but then pulled in every direction on what exactly that means. Does it mean backpacking through South-East Asia for three years, or starting and cementing a career, what about picking a city or region to live in, continuing education, finding love and a life partner, or playing the field, what about kids? There's so many conflicting narratives for 20-something's now-a-days, specifically the privileged 20-somethings who are overwhelmed by, yet lucky enough to feel as if there are lots of options available, yet unclear on which direction land exists, or better yet, aware of where land could exist, but which land is the best one to swim to? What land will make me the happiest? What land will make me feel secure? What land will challenge me, grow me? Can I create something worthwhile for myself? Can I build a life I'm proud of? How? With who? Where? Doing what? When?
This isn't a book to tell 20-somethings to forget about having fun and to just step robotically into a job. It's about intentionality, it's about pulling the wool from the eyes of 20-somethings who think they can write off a decade+ of their life and have there be no consequences. Everything we do simultaneously opens and closes doors.
I want all my friends to read this. It hit me less like a wake up call and more like a consistent, encouraging wind at my back, telling me that it's okay to make choices--we have to. It opened my eyes to the intricacies of what's going on in my own head, how society and biology shapes aspects of it. It got me thinking seriously about what I want my 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond to look like. It got me considering careers and family and habits I'm creating and cementing now. It got me acknowledging that it's all well and good to live in the now, but that I also have an entire life ahead of me that requires forethought because I won't be a 20-something forever.
Essential. Powerful. Uplifting.
