So many twentysomethings are struggling—especially with anxiety, depression, and substance use—yet, as a culture, we are not sure what to think or do about it. Perhaps, it is said, young adults are snowflakes who melt when life turns up the heat. Or maybe, some argue, they’re triggered for no reason at all. Yet, even as we trivialize twentysomething struggles, we are quick to pathologize them and to hand out diagnoses and medications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMedication is sometimes, but not always, the best medicine. For twenty-five years, Meg Jay has worked as a clinical psychologist who specializes in twentysomethings, and here she argues that most don’t have disorders that must be treated: they have problems that can be solved. In these pages, she offers a revolutionary remedy that upends the medicalization of twentysomething life and advocates instead for skills over pills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe Twentysomething Treatment\u003c\/em\u003e, Jay teaches us:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to think less about “what if” and more about “what is.”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to feel uncertain without coming undone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to work—at work—toward competence and calm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to be social when social media functions as an evolutionary trap.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to befriend someone and why this is more crucial for survival than ever.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to love someone even though they may break your heart.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to have sex when porn is easier and more available.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to move, literally, toward happiness and health.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to cook your way into confidence and connection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to change a bad habit you may not know you have.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to decide when so much about life is undecided.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to choose purpose at work and in love.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Twentysomething Treatment\u003c\/em\u003e is a book that offers help and hope to millions of young adults—and to the friends, parents, partners, teachers, and mentors who care about them—just when they need it the most.
