Navigating the Quarterlife Crisis
You've already heard of the "quarterlife crisis", but check out this great overview from Brazen Careerist, including links to books and interviews on the topic. I followed one link to The Lost Girls, an account of three young career women quitting their jobs and taking off on a world tour to find themselves -- great, great stuff.

Thanks Jeremy...you rock! Big hugs from the Lost Girls.
Thanks for popping by, Lost Girls. Such a cool adventure you've undertaken...I love it.
Jeremy and LG's - I think that you are into something here. The quarter life crisis sems to be more than a label is is becoming real.
I find it all so hopeful
I guess it is hopeful if the alternative is staying on soul-sucking corporate ladders and unquestioned life paths, but doesn't it seem likely that these transitions and decisions and identity formation used to come much earlier. It seems to fit into the extended adolescence category, which isn't a criticism...but I don't know if it's a positive thing that people are taking longer to hit their strides.
