Yes, people settle down later than they used to, but that didn't make Alex's twenties a developmental downtime. That made Alex's twenties a developmental sweet spot, and we were sitting there blowing it. That was when I realized that this sort of benign neglect was a real problem, and it had real consequences, not just for Alex and her love life, but for the careers and the families and the futures of twentysomethings everywhere. There are 50 million twentysomethings in the United States right now. We're talking about 15 percent of the population, or 100 percent if you consider that no one's getting through adulthood without going through their twenties first. Raise your hand if you are in your twenties. I really want to see some twentysomethings here. Oh, yay! Y'all's awesome. If you work with twentysomethings, you love a twentysomething, you're losing sleep over twentysomethings, I want to see. Okay. Awesome. Twentysomethings really matter.那就是心理学家所说的“顿悟”时刻,那一刻我意识到,30岁不是一个新的20岁。现在人们结婚的确比以前要晚一些,但这并没有使Alex的20岁成为发展的搁浅期,这使他的20岁成为发展的关键时期,而我们却在挥霍它,那一刻我意识到这种善意的忽视是一个严重的问题,而且是有后果,不仅对Alex和她的感情生活,而是对所有处于20多岁的人的事业、家庭和未来。现在美国有五千万20多岁的人,我们在讨论总人口的15%,或者你这样想,所有人都要经过他们20多岁才能进入成年。如果你现在20多岁请举手,我非常想在这里看到一些20多岁的人。你们真棒。如果你和20多岁的人共事,你爱着一个20多岁的人,你在20多岁时失眠,我想看到你们。好的,太好了,20多岁的这段时间真的很重要。
