ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“The Defining Decade” by Meg Jay explores the critical importance of the twenties in shaping one's future. As a psychologist, Jay uses real-life stories to illustrate how choices made during this period—particularly in career, relationships, and personal growth—have lasting consequences. The book emphasizes the concept of "identity capital," encouraging young adults to invest in experiences and skills that will support their future. Through practical advice, Jay challenges the cultural narrative that the twenties are simply a time for exploration, urging readers to make intentional, forward-thinking decisions to set the foundation for a fulfilling adulthood.
