Of the thousands of psychology papers I’ve read for this podcast, these are five I think every 20 something should know about. Today, we’re exploring the research that could change how you think about feeling behind, getting rejected, finding love and chasing success. We discuss:


The two types of quarter life crisis and what each can teach us


Why your 20s don’t have to be the best years of your life


How rejection can increase your desire to take control


Why your friendships deserve as much attention as your romantic life


The hidden cost of tying your self-worth to money

Five studies, five massive themes for our 20s and so much to take away. Listen now!
