The defining decade

Book • 2012
In 'The Defining Decade,' Meg Jay challenges the cultural narrative that the twenties are an extended adolescence or emerging adulthood.

Drawing from over two decades of work with clients and students, Jay combines the latest science on the twenties with personal stories to highlight the transformative nature of this decade.

The book provides tools and advice on how to make the most of one's twenties, focusing on work, relationships, personality, identity, and brain development.

It emphasizes the importance of using this time effectively to set the foundation for future success in both career and personal life.
