About this title: In Emerging Adulthood, Jeffrey Jensen Arnett presents an engaging and compelling portrait of the lives of people he calls 'emerging adults'. He argues that in recent decades a new stage of life has developed, usually lasting from about age 18 through the mid-twenties, and distinct from both the adolescence that precedes it and the young adulthood that comes in its wake. This new stage is one of identity exploration, instability, possibility, self-focus, and of a substantial sense of limbo. In contrast to previous portrayals, Arnett's research shows that emerging adults are particularly ...

"Excellent, well-organized study of the current state of the post-adolescent / approaching-adulthood (roughly 18-29) period of life in the US, based on surveys and interviews with hundreds of subjects."
"I didn't truly read every word of this book, as I skipped over the sections that didn't "interest" me. The premise of the book is that there is another tier in reaching adulthood. The tier of "emerging adulthood" occurs, in the authors opinion, from 20 to 26 (or so). As a mother of two girls, 16 and 20, I was very interested in the subject. It makes a lot of sense to me that this age group should be looked at as a step to adulthood and made me feel better about what to expect from this age group.
I found it a very helpful and interesting look at this age group."
