Description

A roadmap to navigating the personal and professional transitions of your twenties, with practical insights and reassurance that you're not alone, from the host of the top podcast The Psychology of Your 20s

"Like sharing a cup of tea with a very knowledgeable 'near peer, ' Person in Progress will help you feel better about your twenties."--Meg Jay, PhD, author of The Defining Decade and The Twentysomething Treatment

Jemma Sbeg launched her wildly popular podcast, The Psychology of Your 20s, in the back seat of her car, driven (no pun intended) by the simple desire to understand the universal experiences of twentysomethings through psychological research. She's done the hard work and lived through these years, and now she shares advice, personal stories, and research-based insights to help you navigate this jungle of a decade, too.

Whether you're wrestling with a sweaty case of imposter syndrome, doing your best not to self-sabotage, attempting to settle your anxious mind, or trying to keep your head above water in the murkiness of the dating pool, Sbeg will help you deal with the most chaotic personal and professional moments of this decade by understanding the psychology behind them. For example:

- You have a multitude of choices about your career before you. Learn how to reframe the way you think about your future so that you don't get overwhelmed by the options.
- Whether you're feeling the stigma of being single, stuck in a probably-going-nowhere situationship, or still hurting after heartbreak, discover how to understand and articulate what you're looking for in a relationship.
- It's normal to make mistakes. Unpack how to get comfortable with your mistakes and let them teach you instead of ruminating on them.

To enhance your own self-growth journey, the book includes questions and self-guided moments for your own reflection in each chapter. An invaluable guidebook to your twenties that will help you make the most of this formative decade, Person in Progress reminds us that it's okay to embrace uncertainty and transitions.
