About this listen

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.

I couldn’t suggest reading this more but if you are in your 20’s you need to leave your ego at the door before listening. The Author may say things that upset you or make you cringe but you must realise they are not attacking you, it is just suggestions and perspectives.
Ego is the enemy.
