I really enjoyed this compared to the Defining Decade. I think it is more hopeful than her previous work and does not add this additional sense of dread to my plate. It made me feel hopeful and excited for what’s ahead. I also felt quite seen with this book in a way that Defining Decade was unable to do. It felt very familiar like I was speaking with a friend who understands what I am dealing with. Brought a lot of peace and a gave a lot of tangible tools. Will definitely be rereading this through the last of my twenty something years.

The tone of this book is so relentlessly prescriptive.

Such an incredible book. Both this book and the defining decade by Meg Jay should be read by everyone 18-35. It's difficult to be comprehensive on the topic of mental health in your 20's and 30's but she touches on many topics that are typically difficult during this life period. In it she argues that this time period is one of the most difficult and stressful in life because of the exponential growth that is happening and the dangers of prescription medicine for misdiagnosed depression and anxiety and ADHD. She touches on depression and anxiety, ADHD, troubles making friends, romantic relationships, porn addiction, and many more topics. Reading these books is like having a therapist in your back pocket.

Quick-ish read (I started this the date it was due back to the library and ran out of time/it was due with less than 2hr left). I think it I might have more to say if I had been able to read everything and review it right away, but life got busy and I've forgotten a bit. Overall, I thought it was good though.

I love the transitions between the chapters in this book. They flow and make sense. The pacing is great and Meg does a superb job at giving sound advice for our age bracket.
