The Defining Decade
Why Your Twenties Matter and How to Make the Most of Them Now
Clinical psychologist Meg Jay argues that your twenties are not a throwaway decade. Using stories from her clients and research on adult development, she shows how choices about work, love and identity made in these years shape the rest of life.
Three big ideas
- Thirty is not the new twentyWaiting for life to start later wastes years when change is easiest and choices matter most.
- Build identity capitalCollect skills, experiences and credentials that show who you are and help you get where you want to go.
- Weak ties open doorsNew opportunities often come from acquaintances, not close friends, so reach beyond your inner circle.
