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.

Dr Jay remains likeable as she strips twenty-somethings of their security blankets of early adulthood. Through amalgamations of her many twenty-something patients, she tells the story of how it is the best time to gain identity capital in life, careers, and love. Reminding us that building towards a fulfilling life can be fulfilling in itself, and good habits will take us far.

Most memorably she points out, that having a life in your thirties is a lot nicer that trying to start a life, and that existing in a urban jungle pseudo-adolescence as we wait for life to start, is a waste of the spectacular cognitive development our brains are going through in our twenties.

Best book about your 20s, while still in your 20s

I liked the sociological & psychological concepts and experiments shared - they were quite interesting and it added appropriate and credible evidence for the advice being given. However, I didn't appreciate the black-and-white and judgmental approach at times.
[spoiler-y] Sometimes I felt the way the case studies were shared was to shame certain life decisions, or how there are certain "wrong" paths one must avoid. In a way it contradicts one of its advice that decisions don't have to be linear but it should make sense.. instead of just emphasising that during our twenties we should at least be intentional and have a direction or an idea of how it connects with the rest of our life (which does make sense), it seemed as if there was also a "right or wrong" direction towards this "successful rest of our life". I disagree with this because life direction and definition of success is personal, and sometimes the "seemingly wrong" decisions all shape this. It wouldn't even be "wrong decisions" at all if that's the direction chosen by the person, as long as they felt happy about it and are good in character. [end spoiler]

I feel it would be more effective if it were in a more self-compassionate language and more inclusive of different life paths.

interesting concepts, but too judgmental approach

Meg knows her topic well, and she leads her patients to their answers instead of telling it to them. It feels like being in the therapy room with them, but with pauses where she explains to you why she said what she said.

Asking the right questions

The book was a great listen and would be extremely relevant for 20 something's. Dr. Meg incorporates facts and research into her positions which is great and shares personal experiences of relatable persons. I really enjoyed the listen and it makes you realize alot about being in your 20s with all the moving parts in your life then and why this decade is your defining decade. Great listen!

Highly Recommend for 20 something's
