Who is Twenty Something for?

This book is for you if...

Three types of readers who find what they need in Twenty Something.

Going through the motions

Life is fine. But something feels hollow. You have what you're supposed to have and it still isn't enough.

everything is fine, so why does it not feel fine?

Thinking about leaving but still here

The job. The city. The version of yourself that feels borrowed. You keep almost doing something about it.

you need to leave. you've probably told yourself this countless times. but you are still here.

Ready to go but scared of what's next

You know what you want to do. The fear is the only thing left between you and doing it.

the only person stopping you is you.
A look inside

Three passages. Read them and decide.

Twenty Something · p. 85
the longer you wait the less likely you will do it
Twenty Something · p. 44
stop saving your opportunities until you don't have it anymore. we wait and wait for the best time to do something. but it never is the best time. so we end up waiting and waiting. and there will come a day where you completely lost interest in it and just don't have the desire to do it anymore. or you find out that enough people have gotten onto it and it doesn't work anymore. so you look for the next opportunity. and the cycle repeats.
Twenty Something · p. 17
the most dangerous thing is to live a life never trying because you were too afraid to fail so you choose to fail by default.

About the author

Ron Lim

At 22, Ron packed everything he owned and bought a one-way ticket out of the only place he'd ever known. No plan. No destination.

Twenty Something is the book that came out of that decade — written while it was happening, not looking back on it.
