""I'm stuck. What's wrong with me? Is this all there is? Psychotherapist Satya Doyle Byock hears these refrains regularly in her work with Quarterlifers, individuals between the ages of (roughly) twenty and forty. She understands their frustration. Some clients have done everything "right"--graduate, get a job, meet a partner--yet they feel unfulfilled. Byock calls these Quarterlifers "Stability Types." Others struggle with this socially prescribed path but feel adrift. She refers to them as "Meaning Types." While society is quick to label the emotions and behavior of this age group as generational traits, Byock sees things differently. She believes that these struggles are part of the developmental journey of Quarterlife, a distinct stage that every person goes through and that has been virtually ignored by popular culture and psychology. In Quarterlife, Byock utilizes personal storytelling, mythology, Jungian psychology, pop culture, literature, and client case studies to provide guideposts for this period of life. Readers will be able to find themselves on the specturm between Stability Types and Meaning Types, and engage with Byock's four pillars of Quarterlife development: separate from relationships and expectations that no longer serve you, listen to your own wants and needs, build tools and practices for the life you want, and integrate what you've learned and manifest something new. Quarterlife offers a compassionate roadmap toward finding understanding, happiness, and wholeness in adulthood." -- Provided by publisher.
