Book Synopsis
Why are today's adults more like adolescents, in their dress and personal tastes, than ever before? Why do so many adults seem to drift and avoid responsibilities such as work and family? This book gives us a vision of what it means to be an adult and makes sense of the longest, but least understood period of the life course.
