A guide to psychological adulthood

We all know our physical age, but what is our emotional age?

Most of us long to be more emotionally mature and better able to face life's challenges with poise, confidence, kindness and good-natured intelligence. We want to be proper grown-ups. But to become so means, first and foremost, that we have to understand the many curious ways in which we might not currently be as mature as we would have hoped.

This is a questionnaire that, with gentleness and insight, helps us zero in on the key markers of psychological adulthood. We're prompted to look at how we typically respond to rejection, frustration, anxiety, ambiguity and hope. The book considers the influence of childhood, the role of self-love and the perils of perfectionism, as well as the best ways to achieve self-belief and overcome impostor syndrome. In a series of accompanying essays, we are given material to reflect on and shown how to reach the emotional age we aspire to be.

With candour, wisdom and rigour, the book delivers a realistic roadmap for how to achieve our full potential and grow into self-aware, unfrightened, joyful adults.

Amelia ★★★★★

The chapter on recognizing your own triggers hit harder than I expected, and I've already gone back to reread it twice. It's less about fixing yourself and more about noticing the patterns you've been running on autopilot for years.

Thomas ★★★★★

I’ve read a lot of self-help books that leave you with vague ideas, but this one actually uses the "emotional age" concept to make you measure yourself against specific life challenges. The way it frames poise and confidence as skills you can practice, rather than traits you’re born with, really cli

The chapters on identifying your own emotional triggers hit uncomfortably close to home, but in the best way. I found myself pausing after every few pages to actually reflect, which is rare for a self-help book. It’s a much needed reality check on how I handle stress.
