Our "thirty-is-the-new-twenty" culture tells us the twentysomething 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 twentysomethings 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 a decade of work with hundreds of twentysomething clients and students, THE DEFINING DECADE weaves the latest science of the twentysomething years with behind-closed-doors stories from twentysomethings themselves. The result is a provocative read that provides the tools necessary to make the most of your twenties, 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 aff
Editorial : THE DEFINING DECADE is the book twentysomethings have been waiting for. It will not tell you what you should do with your life, but it will inspire, motivate, and educate you to figure it out.--Rachel Simmons, author of "The Good Girl"
THE DEFINING DECADE is eye-opening, important, and a pleasure to read. I highly recommend it.--Wendy Mogel, author of "The Blessing of a Skinned Knee" and "The Blessing of a B Minus"
Meg Jay brings a sharp intellect, expertise on the life cycle, and extensive clinical experience to this powerful book. Age and time, she argues, are not malleable, even if people live longer and our culture believes that everything is possible. Reading this book will benefit clinicians, cultural commentators, and twentysomethings themselves.--Nancy Chodorow, author of "Individualizing Gender and Sexuality: ""Theory and Practice"
This fascinating, engaging book makes a convincing case that the twenties are the most transformative period of pe
Very good book. Let me specify this statement. It actually hurts athletic performance and doesn't appear to prevent injury. Ironically she mentions that one thing she doesn't like about books that are written on this topic is that they often fail to tell us exactly what someone did to get better. Anyone who is really living with it will know it doesn't work like that.
For instance, he says mania will make you a great brainstormer. Good information, little outdated because of ever changing study of injuries, perhaps over priced considering some of the other books available for reading up on sports injuries and care.. This is the worst book I've ever read. My Husband knew this man and was a member of the 101st Bn. A fascinating story well told of success and failure of engineering endeavors in Victorian England. He only wants to fulfill his needs, to washout his previous bad deeds by blaming Yogi Bhajan and to become popular again.
Please don't waste your precious t
