20 Something 20 Everything by Christine Hassler


This is more than a book. It's a process. During the time in your life where you're trying to figure everything out, and trying to learn what career you want to pursue and how to get there, you can get overwhelmed with the expectations of yourself from yourself and other people around you. You'll compare yourself to other people your age, and feel left out from the career world and all that "time of your life" that your relatives or friends say is the definition of the twenty something years. 
Each chapter of this book helps you dive into what you already know, about your goals, dreams and how you view yourself. Each chapter begins with a few stories of women who go through a similar obstacle or challenge. After each in depth explanation, a list of questions based on your experiences and expectations follows the stories, and a small conclusion to the chapter. 
I recommend reading this book with a blank journal to answer the questions and record your thoughts on each chapter. It's also important to answer each question truthfully, or you won't really know what you want and how you view your life. 
This book is work, but it's also a revelation. With building blocks to pursue your goals, and advice to enjoy this time in your life, Christine Hassler encourages you to really look at your life. How you view  it. How you view yourself. These are more important and influencial than you realize. 
The only way for this book to work, is for you to work. But there are fun projects and tasks to do today to help you clarify what you want and who your are. 
I highly recommend this book to any woman in her twenties, no matter what her situation is. If your lost in the whirlwind of career, relationship status and self image criticism, this book helps you understand that you are not alone. All you have to do is learn the answers to three questions- in depth.
Who are you? What do you want? And, ow do you get there?
