Our ‘thirty-is-the-new-twenty’ culture tells us the twentysomething years don’t matter. Some state they are a second adolescence. Others call them an growing adulthood. Dr. Meg Jay, a scientific psychologist, argues that twentysomethings have already been caught within a swirl of buzz and misinformation, much of which has trivialized what’s actually the most defining 10 years of adulthood.

Drawing from ten years of use hundreds of twentysomething clients and students, THE DEFINING DECADE weaves the most recent science from the twentysomething years with behind-closed-doors tales from twentysomethings themselves. The effect is certainly a provocative examine that provides the tools necessary to take full advantage of your twenties, and displays us how function, relationships, personality, social networks, identity, as well as the brain can change more during this decade than at any various other time in adulthood-if we utilize the period wisely.

THE DEFINING 10 years is a good, compassionate and constructive reserve about the years we can not afford to miss.
