THE DEFINING DECADE - MEG JAY KARTONIERT (TB)

The Defining Decade  has changed the way millions of twentysomethings think about their
twenties—and themselves. Revised and reissued for a new generation  let it change how you think
about you and yours. Our "thirty-is-the-new-twenty" culture tells us the twentysomething years
don' t matter. Some say they are an extended adolescence. Others call them an emerging
adulthood. 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. 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.  Also included in this updated edition:  Up-to-date research
on work  love  the brain  friendship  technology  and fertility What a decade of device use has
taught us about looking at friends—and looking for love—online 29 conversations to have with
your partner—or to keep in mind as you search for one A social experiment in which "digital
natives" go without their phones A Reader' s Guide for book clubs  classrooms  or further
self-reflection
