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-ifwe use the time wisely. " -The Defining Decade" by Meg Jay]]> 2018-09-13 00:21:49 UTC https://padlet.com/meaganhowerton6/z5yao2mqonv9/wish/280611657 meaganhowerton6 https://padlet.com/meaganhowerton6/z5yao2mqonv9/wish/280612097 This book is a series of documented therapy sessions of people who are still in their twenties. Meg Jay write about their sessions and how her clients progressed along the way with their struggles. These twenty-somethings are coming to her therapy sessions for advice about their future career choices, money problems, relationships, and other problems that most young people face at this time of age. I found and read this book soon after my 20th birthday and loved the advice Meg Jay had to share. Through this book I learned I needed to start really thinking about my career choice and to pick a path tha I enjoy doing. She taught me that there are always connections to reach out to to make my job more attainable. She told me not to stress out about relationships because I have a long life ahead to find a soul-mate, and so-on. I would highly recommend this book anyone in their 20's!]]> 2018-09-13 00:24:18 UTC https://padlet.com/meaganhowerton6/z5yao2mqonv9/wish/280612097 meaganhowerton6 https://padlet.com/meaganhowerton6/z5yao2mqonv9/wish/280613982 2018-09-13 00:35:16 UTC https://padlet.com/meaganhowerton6/z5yao2mqonv9/wish/280613982 meaganhowerton6 https://padlet.com/meaganhowerton6/z5yao2mqonv9/wish/280614205 Meg Jay is a clinical psychologist and a narrative nonfiction writer.
