Alexandra Robbins and Abby Wilner des perately try to guide lost and hopeless twenty-somethings through their book, Quarterlife Crisis. A "quarterlife crisis" is the opposite of a midlife crisis. While mid dle-aged people go through midlife crises because of little opportunity or room for change, the authors suggest that the young adults of Generation X and Y go through a quarterlife crisis because of too many opportunities. The two young authors try to answer many questions facing young adults, such as, "How am I supposed to figure out who I really am?," "What if I'm scared to stop being a kid?" and "What if I fail?" They succeed in raising doubts and fears in young adults who never felt unsure of themselves before. The book is filled with word-for-word experiences of more than 100 twenty-somethings, but not many questions are answered. Maybe this is because Robbins' and Wilner's book is the first to identify this phenomenon, and there has not been enough research to support their theory or provide answers. The book can sound preachy and, while the subject is interest ing, the authors diminish the importance of a quarterlife crisis by not digging deep enough and by addressing twenty somethings as if they are adolescents. It also may make readers want to go through a quarterlife crisis as they read through others' periods of loneliness, depression and fail ures. They also could be met with parental opposition and possibl have to move back home. They may fear failure and miss out on opportunities. The list goes on and on. As depressing as this sounds, Quarterlife Crisis does not offer many solutions, and some of the few solutions offered include visiting a therapist and taking Prozac However, not all is lost. The authors do suggest those goinj through a quarterlife crisis find a passion and learn to compromise Those suffering from a quarterlife crisis may not find much hope ir this book, but it may help them understand their dilemma a littl better.
