This period of life, what I have called the twisted twenties, has been written about quite extensively. Here are a couple of articles that I think are worth sharing:
"Tribal Workers" (Barlow)
Thomas Barlow writes about a culture of discontent that seems to be growing among the highly educated young. Particularly about the excess of opportunity that seems to greet such individuals.
"The Advantages of Closing a Few Doors" (Tierney)
John Tierney writes about a study from the field of Behavioral Economics about the utility derived from keeping options open.
"The Odyssey Years" (Brooks)
David Brooks writes about the transition from adolescence to adulthood, a decade of wandering that he calls the odyssey years.
If you have any other reading suggestions, I would love to hear them.
