What's wrong with me? Is this all there is? \u003c\/i\u003eSatya Doyle Byock hears these refrains regularly in her psychotherapy practice where she works with \"Quarterlifers,\" individuals between the ages of (roughly) sixteen to thirty-six. She understands their frustration. Some clients have done everything \"right\" graduate, get a job, meet a partner. Yet they are unfulfilled and unclear on what to do next. Byock calls these Quarterlifers \u003cb\u003e\"Stability Types.\" \u003c\/b\u003eOthers are uninterested in this prescribed path, but feel unmoored. She refers to them as \u003cb\u003e\"Meaning Types.\"\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile society is quick to label the emotions and behavior of this age group as generational traits, Byock sees things differently. She believes these struggles are part of the developmental journey of Quarterlife, a distinct stage that every person goes through and which has been virtually ignored by popular culture and psychology. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eQuarterlife\u003c\/i\u003e, Byock utilizes personal storytelling, mythology, Jungian psychology, pop culture, literature, and client case studies to provide guideposts for this period of life.
