Weckruf für alle in ihre 20ern!
Das Buch sollte jeder in seinen 20ern mal gelesen haben! Ich habe einiges daraus mitnehmen können. Am Ende gibt es auch noch tolle Reflektionsfragen zu jedem Kapitel. Ein Weckruf um nicht Mitte 30 festzustellen, dass man mit allem zu spät dran ist! Einziger Kritikpunkt ist, dass manche Ratschläge etwas privilegiert klingen. Nicht jeder kann seinen unterbezahlten Job wechseln und einen sinnvollen Job annehmen.
I loved this book and I recommend it to every twenty-something year old. The author gives a loft of food for thought and shares stories of her patients in their twenties and thirties. Especially the chapters about work and the chapter about reproduction were very informative for me and made me question some of my own thoughts and decisions.
The book definitely offers some valuable input and I liked the overall message of "your early adulthood is special in many ways, trial and error, but at least try, your choices matter, your relationships matter, etc." But sometimes the author kind of blends out "the reality" of most people in their twenties: lack of financial resources and security. That really annoyed me.. she thinks everyone has the ressources to get all the degrees they want, only have jobs, that help them set foot in their desired industry, etc. Our twenties matter, they are very formative in a lot of ways, but life doesn't stop there. It puts so much pressure on ten years of one's life..
