  Confused about your career, where to live, when to settle down, whether to travel or work, how to find your life's passion? Feeling like you'll be left behind if you don't commit to a job or a relationship? Worried about being a failure if you haven't got it all sorted out by 30? Don't stress, you're not alone. You're just a 'Quarterlifer' having a bit of a 'crisis'. This book builds awareness and solidarity around a condition of inner turmoil for today's young adults in their 20s to mid-30s. The 'Quarterlife Crisis' is brought on by life's changes and choices, and exaggerated by the lack of stability in modern living. While this is not a psychological text, it draws on psychological concepts to analyse the crisis and its causes. While this is not a 'How to...' manual, it provides solutions and suggestions for dealing with a largely unrecognised stage of life. Managing the Quarterlife Crisis is a light-hearted narrative of the author's own 'Quarterlife' condition, an in-depth commentary on the crisis elements, and a bold search for answers.
