The book is really interesting and useful! Sometimes it was difficult to understand for me (there is not only basic vocabulary!), but I wish I could understand the text completely. It is worth reading again and again!

The Defining Decade: Why Your Twenties Matter--And How to Make the Most of Them Now ペーパーバック – 2013/4/2
英語版
Meg Jay
(著)
この商品には新版があります:
Bestselling psychologist Dr. Meg Jay uses real stories from real lives to provide smart, compassionate, and constructive advice about the crucial (and difficult) years we cannot afford to miss.
Our "thirty-is-the-new-twenty" culture tells us the twentysomething years don't matter. Some say they are a second adolescence. Others call them an emerging adulthood. Dr. Meg Jay, a clinical psychologist, argues that twentysomethings have been caught in a swirl of hype and misinformation, much of which has trivialized what is actually the most defining decade of adulthood.
Drawing from almost two decades of work with hundreds of clients and students, The Defining Decade weaves the latest science of the twentysomething years with the behind-closed-doors stories from twentysomethings, themselves. The result is a provocative read that provides the tools necessary to make the most of your twenties, and shows 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—if we use the time wisely.
The Defining Decade is a smart, compassionate and constructive book about the years we cannot afford to miss.

レビュー
"Meg Jay takes the specific complaints of twenty something life and puts them to diagnostic use."―New Yorker
"Any recent college grad mired in a quarter-life crisis or merely dazed by the freedom of post-collegiate existence should consider it required reading."―Slate.com, Staff Pick
"The professional and personal angst of directionless twentysomethings is given a voice and some sober counsel in this engaging guide. While Jay maintains that facing difficulties in one's 20s 'is a jarring--but efficient and often necessary--way to grow,' the author is sincere and sympathetic, making this well-researched mix of generational sociology, psychotherapy, career counseling, and relationship advice a practical treatise for a much-maligned demographic."―Publishers Weekly
"A clinical psychologist issues a four-alarm call for the 50 million 20-somethings in America.... A cogent argument for growing up and a handy guidebook on how to get there."―Kirkus Reviews
"Excellently written, this book is sensitive to the emotional life of twentysomethings."―Library Journal
"THE DEFINING DECADE [is] just the wake up call many twentysomethings need."―The Coffin Factory
"I strongly recommend THE DEFINING DECADEfor anyone in their 20s trying to figure out their life's direction. You'll learn how to search productively, how to avoid being indulgent, and how to turn good opportunities into great ones."―Po Bronson, author of What Should I Do With My Life?, co-author of Nurtureshock
"Before reading THE DEFINING DECADE I didn't know enough about the importance of our twenties to be concerned that I could mess it all up. Now that I do, I could worry myself into paralysis, or, as Meg Jay suggests, grab life by the helm--even if I still have no idea in hell where I'm going. Without a doubt, The Defining Decade will leave you eager to embark on what I now see can be the most exciting odyssey of one's life."―Rachel Kauder Nalebuff, editor of My Little Red Book
"THE DEFINING DECADE is the book twentysomethings have been waiting for. It will not tell you what you should do with your life, but it will inspire, motivate, and educate you to figure it out."―Rachel Simmons, author of The Good Girl
"THE DEFINING DECADE is eye-opening, important, and a pleasure to read. I highly recommend it."―Wendy Mogel, author of The Blessing of a Skinned Knee and The Blessing of a B Minus
"Meg Jay brings a sharp intellect, expertise on the life cycle, and extensive clinical experience to this powerful book. Age and time, she argues, are not malleable, even if people live longer and our culture believes that everything is possible. Reading this book will benefit clinicians, cultural commentators, and twentysomethings themselves."―Nancy Chodorow, author of Individualizing Gender and Sexuality: Theory and Practice
"This fascinating, engaging book makes a convincing case that the twenties are the most transformative period of people's lives, and even better, shows readers how to get off the couch and live that decade well. It should be read by all young adults, their friends, their parents, their grandparents, their bosses, their siblings . . . really, by just about everyone!"―Timothy D. Wilson, author of Redirect: The Surprising New Science of Psychological Change
"Expecting to experience the joy of freedom and self-discovery, many young men and women find instead confusion, loneliness, and anomie. Jay is just the sort of guide that these twentysomethings and their parents need: sensitive, thoughtful, and wise."―Kay Hymowitz, author of Manning Up: How the Rise of Women Has Turned Men into Boys
"THE DEFINING DECADE is a rare gem: a fresh, original contribution to the study of adult development that's also a pleasurable, almost effortless read."―Daphne de Marneffe, PhD, author of Maternal Desire: On Children, Love, and the Inner Life
"Blending the latest social science research with real life accounts of twentysomething clients and students, Jay provides valuable and compelling insights and direction for twentysomethings, their parents, and parents of future twentysomethings."―Leslie C. Bell, PhD, author of Hard to Get: 20-Something Women and the Paradox of Sexual Freedom.
"THE DEFINING DECADE is a must read for the twentysomething who is looking to build a meaningful, fulfilling, and rich life. Dr. Jay clearly illustrates some of the biggest mistakes we can make in our twenties. But more important she gives advice about how to make decisions that will set twentysomethings up for success in the workplace and intimate relationships in their thirties and beyond."―C. J. Pascoe, author of Dude, You're a Fag: Masculinity and Sexuality in High School
"THE DEFINING DECADE does an excellent job of conveying the latest social science on twentysomething relationships and helping young adults to understand why these relationships can be so confusing and challenging...Young adults looking for insights about love, life, and marriage should turn to Dr. Meg Jay's engaging and insightful new book."―W. Bradford Wilcox, director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia
"Meg Jay masterfully blends cutting-edge research and life stories of psychotherapy clients to make a compelling case that this age period is crucial for launching love and work. You will learn a lot from this book and it will spur you to seize control of your future now."―Avril Thorne, University of California, Santa Cruz
"Listen to me closely. If you know someone already in or entering the third decade of life, or their parents, or their therapist, you must give them this book. Meg Jay slams a cultural corrective on our desk. Pay attention. The twenties are the defining decade of human life where the foundation of every future is laid...No one should turn thirty without having read this book."―J. Anderson Thomson Jr., MD; staff psychiatrist, University of Virginia, department of Student Health; co-author, Facing Bipolar: The Young Adult's Guide to Facing Bipolar Disorder

As a twentysomething trying to find which direction I should pursue myself, I think it is a great book. Of course, there will always be some contents that I cannot relate with as I am not from America and do not live in a western country. However, overall, I think it is a great book to try to motivate yourself to keep on moving forward.

This is such an honest book, filled with reality checks and great information for anyone in their 20’s. I wish I read it in my early 20’s, it’s so good. Gift it to someone in your life, it would change the trajectory of their life.

Livro que "dói" ao ler. Porém, indispensável
2022年11月19日にブラジルでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
A autora traz verdades (baseadas em seus estudos e atendimentos como psicóloga) relacionadas à vida profissional, amorosa e corpo.
Não é um livro que deixa você feliz enquanto o lê. Pelo contrário, em alguns casos pode nos trazer preocupações, arrependimentos e ansiedade sobre escolhas que ainda precisamos fazer. Porém, é melhor termos o conhecimento para podermos agir agora (dentro da nossa realidade), do que não o termos.
Apesar de não trazer só animação ao ler, o livro também tranquiliza ao nos instruir em relação a diversos assuntos. Ex: pode nos trazer mais clareza sobre quais tipos de emprego devemos procurar, sobre como devemos planejar nossa vida a fim de alcançarmos nossos objetivos, sobre como podemos escolher com mais consciência nossos relacionamentos, etc.
Enfim, é um livro que pode não deixar você mais contente enquanto o lê. Porém, provavelmente pode fazer com que você tenha mais felicidade/sucesso no futuro do que teria sem a leitura deste.
Breve resumo abaixo das três partes do livro:
(o resumo não condiz necessariamente com a minha opinião em relação os assuntos trazidos)
Vida profissional: O livro traz verdades e instrui sobre como podemos lidar com a nossa carreira. Ressalta a importância de construirmos nosso "capital de identidade" o quanto antes (trabalhos, estudos e atividades a ver com nossa área de atuação e que possam ser colocadas no nosso currículo). A autora também nos ajuda a organizarmos o pensamento sobre quais tipos de trabalhos devemos buscar e quais são as nossas opções. Ela traz que, se quisermos ter uma carreira de sucesso aos 30 e poucos, o momento de "plantarmos" é agora.
Vida amorosa: a autora traz a importância de sermos também intencionais. Alerta que a pessoa que escolhemos nos envolver será parte da nossa família (ou a pessoa com quem será construída uma família). Além disso, também alerta sobre quando e como devemos fazer esta escolha.
Corpo: um dos alertas da autora é sobre a ilusão passada na mídia em relação à idade para ter filhos. Segundo a autora, são noticiadas mulheres que engravidam aos 40, 50 e poucos anos e isso faz com que tenhamos a falsa crença de que é possível para todas. Porém, os dados da população em geral não são muito falados, os quais ressaltam que a chance de uma mulher engravidar naturalmente e conseguir manter a gravidez começa a reduzir após os 35 - o que não torna o processo impossível, mas pode dificultar em alguns casos.
Obs: caso você tenha passado dos 20 e poucos (ou muitos), considere as mudanças que você pretende fazer a partir de agora, não se deixe desesperar. Aja nos pontos que considerar necessários, independentemente da sua idade!

Must read for people in 20s
2023年10月18日にインドでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Reading the book in early 20s makes it more meaningful. Its better to read this at 20 or 21. This book can eliminate distractions very early. Good one.
