I felt so anxious reading this. This feels like a reality check for anyone in their 20s. The first half was great, and I appreciate the brutal honesty. The last half was intriguing to read about but I had not taken away a lot from the last half.
Some notes I’d taken
- identity capital - degrees, skills, that is part of your identity assets
- Underemployment kills career. Dont waste your first few years after degree in overqualified jobs and not advancing career
- Saying yes - Eric Schmitt
- Urban Tribe / Weakened Ties - strength of ties we dont know well leads to jobs - evidence based
- Linked In or Facebook search for informational interview with people who work at companies you want to work at
- Ben Franklin Effect. While attitude influence behaviors, behavior can also impact influence; one favor begets another, small favors begets larger favors
- My life is upto me, no one else can save me
- Being confused at choices is hoping life will happen without you taking charge (it won’t)
- The longer I wait, the fewer the choices
- The Jam Experiment; 6 jam flavors led to more sales ; 24 flavors less sales as more choice so people don’t know what to choose
- No 24 jam flavors for 20 somethings, its a myth, no 20 something has 24 options
- What needs to be done to support the life you want?
- Think about marriage/ relationships early
- Conscientiousness/ extroversion / agreeableness/ openness / neuroticism (personality matters in relationships)
- Forward thinking/ the more you use your brain, the more you will have to use your brain
- If you want to conquer fear, dont sit at home and think about it, go out and be busy
- Body clock and fertility in both men and women is impacted as you age; if you want kids. Older men are more likely to produce kids with neurological conditions like Schizophrenia or Autism
An essential for young adults!
