How to Navigate the Turbulent Twenty-something Years

I am thrilled to share the news that my friend and podcast co-host Christine Hassler has just released a must-read book for twentysomethings: 20-Something Manifesto: Quarter-Lifers Speak Out about Who They Are, What They Want and How to Get It.

Here is Christine’s description of the book:

The Gen Y and Millennial Generations are experiencing a vastly different “real world” than any other recent group of emerging adults. They have to navigate loan debt, finances, goals, and the unfortunate Expectation Hangovers™ that come with real world reality. If any members of this generation felt a sense of entitlement, that feeling is washed away in the confusion, and sometimes even exhilaration, of twenty-something life.

What does a twenty-something do when he or she suffers from the dreaded hangover that comes when one confuses expectations with goals? What about the looming uncertainty of choosing a direction when there seems to be an infinite number of career paths? And what about the many men and women who discover they’ve just spent four to eight years training for a job they hate?

Christine Hassler’s 20-Something Manifesto (New World Library) helps women and men delve deeper into the issues of Expectation Hangovers and the life skills needed to create change and direction during the twenty-something years.

I hope you’ll check out the book, and take a peek at the story I contributed on page 130!
