From renowned culture writer Kate Carraway comes a potent, ultimately hopeful deep dive into everything that goes wrong in the transition to "real" adulthood in this particular era-examining how it could be better, and how it could be great.
Many in the Millennial and Gen Z generations will not live the lives we anticipated living. We spend more time apart and alone than any generation before us, and a lot of the hallmarks of adulthood we were raised to expect-stable employment; home ownership; kids (if you want them); a reliable, upward trajectory; a "typical" life-seem out of reach. Instead, we simply try to get by, or just to feel better, as we meet a version of coming-of-age that is unpredictable and all-new.
Creating Adulthood takes on and shakes out what is so disorienting about this particular era and offers a way through. With heart, humor, and razor-sharp insight, Kate Carraway explores the perils and the possibilities and reveals the answers that have been available to us all along if we know where to look: meaningful work; purpose outside of work; a sense of community; wellness and well-being; and different kinds of help.
