The Twentysomething Treatment

‘Young adults are struggling with mental health, and clinical psychologist Meg Jay is here to help. With clarity and compassion, she explores what causes and cures quarter-life crises. It’s a powerful read on improving well-being’ Adam Grant, author of Think Again

‘This radically hopeful, practical guide will transform how we think about a decade defined by uncertainty. Meg Jay shows how to approach the twenties not as a crisis to be treated, but as an opportunity to develop skills that will help people right away and throughout their lives’ Lori Gottlieb, author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone

‘An essential guide to navigating the most misunderstood decade of life. Mag Jay’s clear-eyed, judgment-free advice will help anyone in their twenties transform struggles into strengths, make smart decisions amid uncertainty and gain wisdom that lasts a lifetime’ Daniel H. Pink, author of The Power of Regret

‘We regularly hear today of how so many young people are suffering from anxiety, depression, and other ‘mental disorders’ as though such difficulties tell of something ‘wrong’ within them. The Twentysomething treatment will make readers rethink that premise. The book’s transformative message is summed up beautifully in this powerful sentence: ‘Most twentysomethings don’t have disorders that need to be treated; they have problems that need to be solved’ Robert Whitaker, author of Mad in America

‘An invaluable guide to twentysomething mental health. With the heart of a therapist and the insights of an expert, Meg Jay brings much-needed clarity to life’s most uncertain years’ Lisa Hefferman, co-author of Grown and Flown

‘Essential reading for anyone wanting to learn about what people are experiencing, and how to help them make it through’ Mail-on-Sunday
