Overview
The Defining Decade for the #Adulting generationāa book that blends storytelling and data to unpack the choices we make in our twenties, why they matter, and how to turn those critical years into a launchpad for the life you want.
We tend to think of our twenties as a playground for life: A time for low-consequence experimentation and delaying big decisions. But the truth is that while youāre muddling through those yearsāexploring new cities, dating the wrong people, hopping between jobsāa small shift in your flight path can mean the difference between landing on Mars or Saturn.
As the data shows, the choices we make (or put off) during this critical decade about our career, marriage, health, friends, even downtime have the greatest impact on how our lives play out. For example, did you know that people who marry between the ages of 28 and 32 have the lowest risk of divorce? And that the average 25 year old has 20 close friends, but this will shrink to 8 after age 40? And that most of us donāt acquire new hobbies after we hit our thirties?
Rather than prescribing one correct path (who are we kidding, thereās no such thing anyway!), Elizabeth Segran invites readers to think critically and holistically about the life they want to build. With signature warmth and humor, Segran is the guide we all wish we had to show us the way. Blending insightful anecdotes with research from economics, sociology, and political science, The Rocket Years is an empowering exploration of these exciting, confusing, wonderful years.
