sofilart 's review for:

The Defining Decade: Why Your Twenties Matter--And How to Make the Most of Them Now, Updated Edition by

2.0

reflective fast-paced

---

The overall message of the book isn't bad: 'Your life matters—even in your twenties—so make it count. I genuinely believe that people, regardless of age, shouldn't waste their potential by constantly partying or falling into unhealthy habits. It's perfectly okay to have fun and unwind occasionally, but turning that into a lifestyle—especially if it brings no fulfillment or purpose—serves little value unless it's something you’re truly passionate about and it’s your actual job'.

However:
- The audience is limited to a privilaged group with resources and opportunities.
- Heteronormative in general. Yes, she mentions LGBTQ+ people, but all research, examples and ideas are geared towards straight/cis folks.
- Her clients are often very stupid and bland.
- Jay comes off as condescending and judgemental.
- Very future-focused.
