Quarterlife
I'm stuck. What's wrong with me? Is this all there is? Satya Doyle Byock hears these refrains regularly in her psychotherapy practice where she works with "Quarterlifers," individuals between the ages (roughly) of sixteen to thirty-six. While society is quick to label the emotions and behavior of this age group as generational traits, Byock sees things differently. She believes these struggles are a part of the developmental journey of Quarterlife, a distinct stage of life that every person goes through and which has been virtually ignored by popular culture and psychology. 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 spectrum between Stability and Meaning Types, and engage with Byock's four pillars of Quarterlife development. Quarterlife is a defining work that offers a compassionate roadmap towards finding understanding, happiness, and wholeness in adulthood.
