Overview
āQuarterlife is an insightful, revealing look at the messy and uncharted paths to wholeness, and a powerful tool for anyone navigating early adulthood.āāTembi Locke, New York Times bestselling author of From Scratch
Iām stuck. Whatās wrong with me? Is this all there is? Satya Doyle Byock hears these refrains regularly in her psychotherapy practice where she works with āQuarterlifers,ā individuals between the ages of (roughly) sixteen to thirty-six. She understands their frustration. Some clients have done everything ārightā: graduate, get a job, meet a partner. Yet they are unfulfilled and unclear on what to do next. Byock calls these Quarterlifers āStability Types.ā Others are uninterested in this prescribed path, but feel unmoored. She refers to them as āMeaning Types.ā
While society is quick to label the emotions and behavior of this age group as generational traits, Byock sees things differently. She believes these struggles are part of the developmental journey of Quarterlife, a distinct stage that every person goes through and which has been virtually ignored by popular culture and psychology.Ā
In Quarterlife, Byock utilizes personal storytelling, mythology, Jungian psychology, pop culture, literature, and client case studies to provide guideposts for this period of life. Readers will be able to find themselves on the spectrum between Stability and Meaning Types, and engage with Byockās four pillars of Quarterlife development:Ā
ā¢ Separate: Gain independence from the relationships and expectations that no longer serve youĀ
ā¢ Listen: Pay close attention to your own wants and needsĀ
ā¢ Build: Create, cultivate, and construct tools and practices for the life you wantĀ
ā¢ Integrate: Take what youāve learned and manifest something newĀ
Quarterlife is a defining work that offers a compassionate roadmap toward finding understanding, happiness, and wholeness in adulthood.
