Who Cares What You're Supposed to Do?

Have you hit a quarter-life crisis? Are you hearing from friends, family, and everyone around you that you're "supposed to":

  • Have a fabulous career
  • Be financially independent
  • Be married with children
  • Have your own home
  • Enjoy a busy social life
  • Have a great body
  • AND do it all right?

You are not alone. Women in their twenties and early thirties face greater pressure to succeed than ever before. And those who don't "have it all" can be left feeling guilty, full of doubt, and resentful.

In Who Cares What You're Supposed to Do, nationally acclaimed clinical psychologist Victoria Dickerson lifts the pressure to "fit in" by showing you how to:

  • Get a Man: Get married and have children - or at least become involved in a meaningful relationship that will eventually lead to a commitment.
  • Have a Career: Find a job you have "passion" for and that will eventually lead to a career.
  • Make It on Your Own: Become financially independent and self-sufficient.
  • Look Good, Be Thin: Stay attractive, pay special attention to your appearance, and keep fit.
  • Be Popular: Create an active social life and have tons of friends.
  • Leave the Nest: Strike out on your own and have your own life.
  • Follow the Rules: Do it right and in a timely fashion, even if you're not sure it's exactly what you really want.
