What a relief to open The Defining Decade by Meg Jay. Jay recognises that twentysomethings today are facing different issues from their parents, but that doesn't mean we are victims of circumstance . . . [she] is not letting young people off the hook - Sunday Times

I strongly recommendThe 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?

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
