Most twentysomethings don t have disorders that need to be treated they have problems that need to be solved

Un nuevo enfoque a cómo la década de los veinte a los treinta años es básica para construir el resto de nuestras vidas Existe una corriente social que piensa que la década de los veinte años no es una edad realmente importante. Algunos la consideran una prolongacion de la adolescencia. Otros, una incipiente adultez. Sin embargo, los veinte y principio de los treinta años es en realidad uno de los periodos mas transformadores de la vida adulta. La doctora Meg Jay, psicologa clinica, señala en este libro que estos jovenes se ven atrapados en una espiral de desinformacion. Estan asustados, confundidos y desorientados, y sus unicas referencias para guiarse en la vida proceden de los topicos de las peliculas, los periodicos y los amigos. Fruto de mas de diez años de experiencia con cientos de pacientes y alumnos veinteañeros, La decada decisiva combina los ultimos estudios sobre esta etapa vital con historias reales contadas por sus propios protagonistas. El resultado es un libro provocador que proporciona las herramientas necesarias para sacarle el maximo partido a este determinante periodo y que muestra que el trabajo, las relaciones, la personalidad, la vida social, la identidad e incluso el cerebro cambian mas durante esta decada que en ningun otro periodo de la vida adulta. La decada decisiva es el libro que todos los veinteañeros estaban esperando. No te va a decir lo que tienes que hacer con tu vida, pero te servira de inspiracion, te motivara y te formara para que puedas
