A Love Affair with the Unknown with Gill Deacon
BONUS -JEFFREY JENSEN ARNETT How to trust the uncertain future for young adults
19 Aug 2025
The future can feel shaky, especially for young people starting out right now. Psychology professor and author Jeffrey Jensen Arnett, Ph.D. changed society's understanding of human development when he coined the term “emerging adulthood.” When adult children are living at home—as many are in this economy— future uncertainty can feel oppressive for everyone in the house. Dr. Arnett gives reassuring context for anxious parents of older children, explaining the social and cultural forces that have changed expectations for young people. He argues that “30 is the new 20” and that parents must learn to be more comfortable with less control, and trust that the kids are, in fact, alright.Subscribe to our newsletter for more A Love Affair with the Unknown Hosted on Acast.
