Editorial Review:
Are you wrestling with a sense that you haven¹t done enough? Or you¹ve done it all and don¹t know what¹s next? If you¹ve ever wondered why you aren¹t enjoying the best years of your life, and why you¹re still mired in confusion about the choices you¹ve made or need to make, this book is for you.
Faced with a career she worked hard to achieve but didn¹t like and the disintegration of her relationship, author Christine Hassler started talking to other twenty-something women and discovered a pattern. Many women in their twenties (and thirties) feel unsettled and struggle to reassess their positions on what Christine calls the twenties triangle: Who am I? What do I want? How do I get it?
Throughout the book these questions become opportunities to identify and explore dreams and values. Rather than feeling overwhelmed and frustrated, readers can turn questions into maps that lead toward creating a career, a relationship and a life that fits just like a favorite pair of jeans.

Intuitive and encouraging  2008-02-03
20-Something, 20-Everything was truly a life-changing read for me. Christine Hassler does an extraordinary job of showing readers that not only are their experiences and feelings as a twenty-something 'normal', but she also shows that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and provides simple steps to get there. She has an incredibly intuitive and understanding grasp on what so many people in their twenties are experiencing, and much of the book felt as though she knew my story without having heard it! The written exercises dispersed throughout the book helped me look at my situation in much deeper, more honest way than I had before. I highly recommend this book to anyone who feels there is room for improvement in any aspect of their life...
If you are a women in your 20's you NEED to read this book. 2007-12-26
I had no idea I was going through a quarter-life crisis until I picked up Christine Hassler's book, 20-Something, 20-Everything. I was struggling with so much in my life; I had a pretty low self image and the lack of self-esteem to match. I wasn't happy with my job nor was I anywhere financial stability. In addition, I was being surrounded by people who seemed to be doing a lot better in their life than me.
It was during a mid-day trip to a local book store where I discovered with-in the pages of this book what I was going through. I immediately purchased the book and begin to unravel my feelings of confusion, frustration and depression and figure out how to move forward with my life. 20-Something, 20-Everything did quite a lot for me but one of the most imporatant things it did was to show me that I'm not alone in my struggles, that there are many women dealing with all the same issues that I am. Knowing that and actually reading about other women's life journey's was my first step in moving on from my own quarter-life crisis.
Currently, I can't say I'm completely free from the confines of my crisis but I'm well on my way and you can bet I'll be taking Christine Hassler's book with me every step of the way!
To all you young women who are going through your own quarter-life crisis I truly reccommend this book. Not only will it explain, through self-dicovery exercises, why you fall into "the crisis" but it will give
you the tools needed to make sure you come out on the other end a quarter-life crisis survivor. Good luck and know that you are NOT alone!!
Not very enlightening.  2007-12-14
I am sure this book really is a great guide for women who want to find "balance and direction," but it's only suitable if you have the time and patience to complete the 69 multi-question exercises that pop up every 2-5 pages. Those exercises were the only reason why I couldn't get through the book.
She starts off each section with some advice that she only briefly explains--which is unfortunate because I found a lot of what she said to be insightful. However, rather than give tips on how to apply the advice, she has the reader answer many, many, many questions so she can figure things out for herself. Basically, I bought a book that told me the answer to finding "balance and direction" was in me, and I just had to discover it. But that's why I bought the book in the first place, isn't it?
No Clue 2007-07-21
I really don't have a review. This book sounded like the best of the bunch for 20 somethings. I gave this book to my niece for her 21st birthday. I left a personal message with the book. She loves reading and her Aunt (me) love self help and inspirational growth reading. As she embarks on her journey I hope she will use this for guidance, direction and/or support. As of now she still has 9 more years in her 20's.I'm hopful she will get something out of it, Even in the future.
An ESSENTIAL corner piece to the puzzle of life!! 2007-07-14
My belief is Christine does not just give to the reader but simultaneously provides the space for individuals to truly process life in their 20s. Moreover, she allows those beyond their twenties the space to reflect, question and confront what was, in the hope of providing insight for individuals currently in their 20s that can be influenced.
The book is not just an educational tool for outlining aspects of the process of living in your 20s. It is a literary mastery that allows any reader regardless of gender the opportunity to explore, experience, personalize, and actualize their own lives while striving to live optimally.
Furthermore, the strongest component aside from the aforementioned is it allowed me the chance to think about affects that I never provided the space or time for in an experiential manner. I feel that Christine has a succinct and effective writing style. She has this inimitable ability to convey a direct message that explicates understanding of living in the uncertain 20's during the 21st century. Lastly, the abundance of exercises throughout allows for preparing and normalzing the individual experience in a candid way.
Thank you.
