Abstract

Am I the Only One Not Making Progress in Life?
This is a book for every woman nearing 30, addressing that year-round, inexpressible anxiety and restlessness that begins to plague us around the age of 25. What is the true nature of this "mushy feeling" that never seems to quit?
It tackles the fundamental worries of working women head-on, covering:
"I'm afraid of turning 29."
"I have a vague anxiety about the future."
"I don't know if I should marry my current partner."
"I meet people, but no one feels right."
"It's painful to see my friends look so happy."
"I lost touch with friends after my life stage changed."
"I can't find a career or life role model."
"I hate the thought of being alone in old age, but I can't give up my current life."
"Honestly, I don't know if I even want children."
A must-read for all women in their late twenties and early thirties, this volume cuts deep into these anxieties while also providing practical information on fertility treatments and the basics of asset management.
