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. In The Defining Decade, Meg Jay argues that twentysomethings have been caught in a swirl of hype and misinformation, much of which has trivialized the most transformative time of our lives.ĭrawing 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. Some say they are an extended adolescence.
Our "thirty-is-the-new-twenty" culture tells us the twentysomething years don't matter. Revised and reissued for a new generation, let it change how you think about you and yours. Jay joined The Daily Circuit to give advice to those in their 20s and assure those of us past 29 that we are not out of luck.The Defining Decade has changed the way millions of twentysomethings think about their twenties-and themselves. The things that we do and the things that we don't do are going to have an enormous effect across years and even generations."
Our brain caps off its last growth spurts. Our personalities change more in our 20s than any other time.
We know that more than half of Americans are married or living with or dating their future partner by 30.
"We know that 70 percent of lifetime wage growth happens in the first 10 years of a career. "We know that 80 percent of life's most defining moments happen by age 35," Jay said on NPR. In her new book, "The Defining Decade," she uses case studies of her clients and draws upon the latest science and economics to explain why the 20s are one's defining decade. Meg Jay turns the notion "30s are the new 20s" on its head when she says your twenties are critical to defining your future.
