As the "Big 3-0" approaches or swiftly passes, many once confident young people find themselves awash with anxiety-provoking questions—"What am I doing with my life?" "Should I be settling down?" "Where is my career headed?" "Who am I and what to do I really want?!" These questions are the hallmark of the "quarterlife crisis," a time when our gaze turns inward, when we evaluate our personal and career choices and wonder whether we're on the right path or seriously lost. Turning 30 guides readers through the often difficult but ultimately rewarding process of reassessing one's life and figuring out what matters most. Packed with stories from the front lines, goal-setting exercises, revealing case studies, and useful, thought-provoking tips, it shows readers how to reexamine their values and explore every area of their lives, ultimately teaching them how to transform their dreams into practical ideas for achieving the life they really want.
Turning 30: How to Get the Life You Really Want

Practical help for transitions,
By A reader (New Barnet, Hertfordshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Turning 30: How to Get the Life You Really Want (Paperback)
As well as giving interesting information, this book provides a range of really useful exercises to help you make important decisions about your life direction. By helping you create a vision for your future, analyse your strengths and set goals, the activities laid out in the book support reflection and action in important areas of your life. They enable you to analyse what you want and where you are going as you enter your 30s - but would be equally applicable to moments of transition at other ages.
The authors manage to make the subject matter meaningful and entertaining - adding humourous elements that make the book easy to read and follow. The result is a positive and lighthearted guide to some pretty serious issues. The reader is challenged, but supported and encouraged. Definitely a good read for anyone wanting to take a long hard positive look at their life, what they want out of life and where they are going.

Very good. It's for my daughter who is turning 30 this year! So I didn't actually read it. And she hasn't received it yet.
