Format:Hardcover
Generally i really liked this book, Damien Barr is very witty and uses some interesting people to tell their stories. He also provides the reader with some useful websites and telephone numbers at the end of each section for reference, it makes good sense that someone who has recently survived his own quarterlife crisis is writing this book. My only gripe is that the book refers a lot to people who have been to university, got a pretty well paid job and been travelling etc.. What about those of us who haven't done or achieved these things Damien! There is a small handful of references to the less fortunate but not really enough in my opinion. I still enjoyed this book despite my little winge and it made me chuckle a lot and he has hit the nail on the head about us all thinking everyone else is always doing better than us in their lives. P.s. i didn't realise a quarterlife crisis even existed until i saw this book! It's good to see someone speaking up about how tough us twentysomethings have it these days.

At 27 and being on the verge of a nervous breakdown, I knew there was something wrong with me, but I never thought it had a name (or that there is a distinct possibility I suffer from mild depression). Damian's book was not exaclty pleasant or entertaining for me, but necessary. In a time when I was in a complete disorder, I realised how not alone I am in this and that I might actually be much better off than most people. I got it together and for that I am grateful.

This book provided me with the impetus to make decisions about my life, love and career that I may not otherwise have taken. Thank you Mr Barr.

Crisis, what crisis?
While there is some useful advice here, Barr gives far too much space to graduates who really aren't doing badly at all (even if they think they should be doing better). Read more

some good tips but enough "cool" attitude already!
This book is helpful but emphasises a fairly narrow range of lifestyles. The author despite being from a similar background to me, is reliant on the truism that our friends are... Read more
