Christine Hassler

If you've ever wondered why you aren't enjoying "the best years of your life," and why you're still mired in confusion about the choices you've made or need to make, this book is for you.

A Quarter-life Woman's Guide to Balance and Direction

20 Something, 20 Everything

"Expectation hangovers may not be as obvious as Sauvignon Blanc or Jim Beam hangovers but they are every bit as painful. We think we aced an interview and get no call back. We meet an online match in person and fail to click. Or maybe we buy a house or move to another city and are disappointed. If we then wallow in regret, self-recrimination, or anger, we stay stuck. Christine Hassler urges us to instead see these hangovers as opportunities to re-examine what we want and to try not again, but to try smarter, braver, and with more heart. When we fully experience the hangover, we learn courage, faith, surrender, and love. This is what empowers us to move beyond disappointments rather than replay and repeat them"--

Quarter-Lifers Speak Out About Who They Are, What They Want, and How to Get It

20 Something Manifesto

Surrounded by possibility but unsure of your direction? You’re not alone. If you’re in your twenties, you’re likely feeling the combination of the excitement of this defining decade and the pressure to figure out your entire life. The thrill of newfound independence and opportunity can be quickly squelched by worry, disillusionment, or disappointment. Like thousands of other twenty somethings, you may have experienced what life coach and quarter-life expert Christine Hassler calls an “Expectation Hangover?.” This manifesto explores the all-important questions and life choices of these turbulent yet exciting years. Twenty somethings may commiserate about the challenges they face, but few resources offer practical lessons or suggestions. In these pages, quarter-life men and women tell their stories, sharing their successes and failures, along with their frustrations and realizations. The author’s insightful commentary and “take away” suggestions provide the tools and skills you need to create change and direction in your life. You’ll recognize and articulate your personal goals, paving the way to what you truly want.

The midtwenties through the midthirties can be a time of difficult transition: the security blankets of college and parents are gone, and it’s suddenly time to make far-reaching decisions about career, investments, and adult identity. When author Christine Hassler experienced what she calls the "twenties triangle", she found that she was not alone. In fact, an entire generation of young women is questioning their choices, unsure if what they’ve been striving for is what they really want. They’re eager to set a new course for their lives, even if that means giving up what they have. Hassler herself left a fast-moving career that wasn’t right for her and instead took the risk of starting her own business. Now, based on her own experience and interviews with hundreds of women, she shares heartfelt stories on issues from career to parents to boyfriends to babies. Yet she also provides practical exercises to enable today’s woman to chart a new direction for her life.
