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. (Grade: C-)
