I read a book on how to spend your 20s. | The Defining Decade

so... i'm turning 22 tomorrow. cue the existential crisis at another birthday even though age is a construct

Hey guys!! 🦋 I recently read The Defining Decade by Meg Jay which is a book all about how to spend your 20s based on science and her experience. She worked as a clinical psychologist interviewing hundreds of people in their 30s and 40s on why they weren't satisfied with their lives. Most of the time, it was because of decisions made in their 20s. Even though there's no one way to live life, Dr Jay created a list of universal advice she wishes all 20-year olds knew to make the most of this formative decade.

If you're turning 20, in your mid-twenties or just generally seeking life advice, I hope this video gives you tangible inspiration for how to live your 20s to the fullest 💫
