by Laura Sgroi

Turning thirty is easy, but...what happens next?

The years that follow the big 3-0 shape us in ways we could never imagine.

Many of us dread our thirties, but they show up no matter what we had planned—our dreams and aspirations, our self-imposed goals, the accomplishments by which society attempts to measure and define us...there is no escaping it. In Our Thirties explores the opportunities and challenges in this remarkable decade of life, inspiring a deeper, more mindful journey that leads to self-discovery, growth, and wisdom. Drawing on nearly a decade of research, In Our Thirties features the insights of certified life coach and speaker Laura Sgroi and expert contributors on topics such People, Health, Spirit, Work, Money, and Living, together with more than fifty personal essays by thirtysomethings from around the world. In Our Thirties is an innovative guide to embracing the 30+ life and devoting ourselves to what matters most.

it was nice to read all the stories from other people at this stage of life. i just entered my thirites and i already have a love/hate relationship with it. But this book has helped me to realize i need to move forward with more kindness towards myself and just go with the flow of life without too much control or judgement. you're only in your thirties once, you might as well enjoy it the best you can

My friend got me this for my birthday and I never felt so validated in my life when it comes to my life being single and being the only single person at work.
