The Defining Decade: Why Your Twenties Matter--And How to Make the Most of Them Now

Drawing from more than two decades of work with thousands of clients and students, Jay 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 take the most of your twenties, and shows us how work, relationships, personality, identity and even the brain can change more during this decade than at any other time in adulthood—if we use the time well.

This book is a must read for everyone in their 20s. Squashes so many myths we hear and such a reality check about life, especially the importance of your 20s.
A must read in your 20s for sure. Not because everything in it is 100% mandatorily applicable, but because it’s a lot of food for thought and challenges you to challenge your preconceived notions on most of life’s most important decisions. Take it all with a grain of salt if you’re prone to feeling time anxiety.
