The Defining Decade

Why Your Twenties Matter and How to Make the Most of Them Now

By: Meg Jay

Narrated by: Meg Jay

Contemporary culture tells us the twentysomething years don't matter. Clinical psychologist Dr Meg Jay argues that this could not be further from the truth. In fact, your 20s are the most defining decade of adulthood.

The Defining Decade weaves the latest science of the twentysomething years with real-life stories to show 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.

Smart, compassionate and constructive, The Defining Decade is a practical guide to making the most of the years we cannot afford to miss.

Review of a 20-something year old

As a young 20-something, this book provides answers to topics and questions that you hadn't even considered... insightful read with practical advice that, if applied even in a small way, can dramatically improve the success of your career & relationships in your 30s and beyond by being intentional about what you think and do in your 20s. Detailed recounts of Meg's clients and their situations also provide "what not to do" in your 20s... equally as valuable and even more motivating. I highly recommend this book to anyone in their 20s.

I hope that this book reaches many more 20-somethings that are longing for wisdom and advice on how to make the most of their 20s to create the life they want in their 30s, 40s, 50s and so on. This book is much needed.

Amazing

Every single 20 something should read this! Be intentional is what I take away from this, and many, many more lessons!

Life changing
