Review: A wonderful way to support someone by helping them choose and focus on their future. - Excellent read for parent and child. The best way to utilize this insightful book is to buy two copies. As a parent I read it first. Then I was able to motivate my granddaughter and I handed her a copy. We agreed on a weekly schedule to have a conversation over a meal. The schedule could slide to meet individual needs. In this day and age it is valuable addition for development.
Review: Must Read! Finished within 2 Weeks - I’m a 26F and I loved this book. I decided this year I will get back into reading since it was something I enjoyed when I was a kid. I saw the title and I knew this would be a great first book to start with. It will now be my new holy grail when life starts to overwhelm me or have confusion and in need of some deep clarity. I wish I found this book sooner when I first entered my 20s. However, I’m thankful that I found it now. Within these last 2 weeks it has helped me gain so much unexpected mental clarity and peace with my 20s. It’s a must read!!

*by S***N on January 25, 2026*

I first read The Defining Decade: Why Your Twenties Matter—and How to Make the Most of Them Now nearly nine years ago, and it remains the only self-development book I still think about regularly. Its lessons didn’t just resonate in the moment—they quietly shaped how I approached my twenties, and in hindsight, I wish I had taken some of the advice even more seriously. Dr. Meg Jay, a clinical psychologist specializing in young adulthood, challenges the idea that the twenties are merely a disposable decade meant for drifting or delaying responsibility. Instead, she argues—backed by research, real-life case studies, and clear science—that small choices made in our twenties around relationships, careers, and identity compound into the lives we ultimately build. What makes the book stand out is its tone. Jay approaches often-sensitive topics—dating, work, ambition, and biological timelines—with a mix of compassion, clarity, and occasional humor. The book doesn’t shame or scold; it empowers. At times it’s uncomfortable, but in a way that feels necessary and constructive. Perhaps most compelling is how The Defining Decade gives readers the kind of guidance many people don’t receive until their thirties—when patterns are more entrenched, and course correction feels harder. Jay reframes urgency not as pressure, but as opportunity: a reminder that our twenties are not too early to care, but uniquely powerful precisely because they are formative. The Defining Decade is an honest, science-based, and deeply practical read—especially for anyone in their twenties, or anyone reflecting on how those early adult years shaped the life they’re living now. One of the best, most helpful books I have ever read in my life.
