The Defining Decade by Meg Jay, PhD, is a must-read for those in their twenties, whether they are graduating from college or entering the workforce. This stage is a pivotal time in life, as ages 20-29 are not simply an extension of adolescence but an opportunity to make sound financial and career-related decisions that will impact the rest of their lives. It is a chance to get a step ahead in many aspects of life. Unfortunately, many in this age group do not recognize these benefits; instead, they may feel entitled to delay work, travel extensively, and spend freely without considering long-term consequences. They might also engage in behaviors that do not support their physical or mental well-being. Jay offers strategies to help twenty-somethings make the most of this decade while still living life to the fullest.
