Meg Jay

Revised and reissued for a new generation of twentysomethings, New York Times bestselling psychologist Dr. Meg Jay uses real stories from real lives to provide smart, compassionate, and constructive advice about the crucial (and difficult) years we cannot afford to miss. Our "thirty-is-the-new-twenty" culture tells us the twentysomething years don't matter. Some say they are a second adolescence. Others call them an emerging adulthood. Dr. Meg Jay, a clinical psychologist, argues that twentysomethings have been caught in a swirl of hype and misinformation, much of which has trivialized what is actually the most defining decade of adulthood.Drawing from almost two decades of work with hundreds of clients and students, THE DEFINING DECADE weaves the latest science of the twentysomething years with the behind-closed-doors stories from twentysomethings, themselves. The result is a provocative read that provides the tools necessary to make the most of your twenties, and shows us how work, relationships, personality, social networks, identity, and even the brain can change more during this decade than at any other time in adulthood -- if we use the time wisely.

Clinical psychologist and author of The Defining Decade, Meg Jay takes us into the world of the supernormal: those who soar to unexpected heights after childhood adversity.Whether it is the loss of a parent to death or divorce; bullying; alcoholism or drug abuse in the home; mental illness in a parent or a sibling; neglect; emotional, physical or sexual abuse; having a parent in jail; or growing up alongside domestic violence, nearly 75% of us experience adversity by the age of 20. But these experiences are often kept secret, as are our courageous battles to overcome them.Drawing on nearly two decades of work with clients and students, Jay tells the tale of ordinary people made extraordinary by these all-too-common experiences, everyday superheroes who have made a life out of dodging bullets and leaping over obstacles, even as they hide in plain sight as doctors, artists, entrepreneurs, lawyers, parents, activists, teachers, students and readers. She gives a voice to the supernormals among us as they reveal not only "How do they do it?" but also "How does it feel?"These powerful stories, and those of public figures from Andre Agassi to Jay Z, will show supernormals they are not alone but are, in fact, in good company. Marvelously researched and compassionately written, this exceptional book narrates the continuing saga that is resilience as it challenges us to consider whether -- and how -- the good wins out in the end.

Contemporary culture tells us the twenty-something years don’t matter. Clinical psychologist Dr Meg Jay argues that this could not be further from the truth.The Defining Decade weaves the latest science of the twenty-something years with real-life stories to show us how work, relationships, identity and even the brain can change more during this decade than at any other time in adulthood.Smart, compassionate and constructive, The Defining Decade is a practical guide to making the most of the years we cannot afford to miss.Included in this updated · Up-to-date research on work, love, the brain, friendship and technology· What a decade of device use has taught us about looking at friends – and looking for love – online· A social experiment in which ‘digital natives’ go without their phones· A reader’s guide for book clubs, classrooms or further self-reflection

The author of The Defining Decade explains why the twenties are the most challenging time of life and reveals essential skills for handling the uncertainties surrounding work, love, friendship, mental health, and more during that decade and beyond.Seventy-five percent of all mental health disorders emerge by the age of twenty-five, and twentysomethings are more likely to face depression, anxiety, and substance abuse than any other age group. The pandemic has intensified this crisis, but it was underway well before 2020, in large part because young people and the professionals who treat them have rushed to prescribe pills, rather than helping them develop essential life skills for dealing with the uncertainties that abound in our twenties.Medication is sometimes, but not always, the best medicine. For twenty-five years, Meg Jay has worked as a clinical psychologist who specializes in twentysomethings, and here she argues that most of them don’t have disorders that must be they have problems that can be solved. It is time to upend the medicalization of young adult life or else we risk hobbling—even sickening—an entire generation.In The Twentysomething Treatment , Jay teaches us how to acquire essential skills such -How to be social when social media functions as an evolutionary trap.-How to befriend someone and why this is more crucial for survival than ever.-How to love someone even though they may break your heart.-How to make sex more fulfilling than you thought was possible.-How to move, literally, toward happiness and health.-How to face, rather than avoid, bad feelings so they won’t haunt you.-How to cook your way into confidence and connection.-How to change a bad habit.-How to decide when so much is undecided.-And how to choose purpose at work and in love.Along the way, Jay shares dozens of rich, revealing stories of students and clients who are learning to embrace uncertainty and live full lives. The Twentysomething Treatment is essential reading for anyone who wants to find out how mental health gets better when we get better at life.

І міф про те, буцімто тридцять — це нові двадцять і зробити щось у пізнішому віці означає зробити це краще. Натомість Меґ Джей довела факт, що 80 % доленосних подій відбуваються в житті людини до 35 років. Дві третини зростання рівня зарплатні припадає на перші десять років кар’єри. До тридцяти років понад половина людей одружуються, зустрічаються або живуть разом із майбутніми чоловіками чи дружинами. Характер найістотніше змінюється в період від двадцяти до тридцяти років — не до і не після. До тридцяти років мозок людини завершує свій розвиток. І що тепер робити з цією інформацією? Саме час дізнатися, як не змарнувати можливості «вирішального десятиріччя»!

Bijna driekwart van alle mensen krijgt tijdens zijn jeugd te maken met een traumatische ervaring. Sommigen worden gepest, anderen verliezen een ouder, maken een echtscheiding mee, of hebben een familielid met een psychische aandoening of een verslaving. Sommige kinderen worden blootgesteld aan huiselijk geweld, sommige emotioneel, lichamelijk of seksueel misbruikt of verwaarloosd.Wonder boven wonder komen de meeste van deze kinderen hun trauma te boven. Ondanks de littekens slagen zij erin als volwassenen een stabiel en betekenisvol leven op te bouwen. Hoe kan dat? Waar halen zij de kracht vandaan? Zitten flexibiliteit en veerkracht anders in elkaar dan wij geneigd zijn te denken?Psychotherapeut Meg Jay laat aan de hand van tal van voorbeelden en verhalen op overtuigende en indringende wijze zien dat de menselijke veerkracht veelzijdiger en complexer is dan we ooit voor mogelijk hielden. De supernormale volwassene is geen zwaar beschadigd of getraumatiseerd slachtoffer en ook geen taaie, elastische overlever die alles van zich laat afglijden en simpelweg terugveert. Hij of zij is een supernormale held, die weet wat hem te doen staat - maar zich wel vaak verborgen voelt achter een maskerDit baanbrekende boek roept bij de lezer een diep gevoel op van herkenbaarheid, begrip, verbondenheid en mededogen.
