1.The Quarter-Life Breakthrough: Invent Your Own Path, Find Meaningful Work, and Build a Life That Matters

This book is ideal for anyone suffering from a professional quarter-life crisis, unsure of their current vocation and direction. This guide is all about building the life that you want rather than making do with the one that you have. An enjoyable and helpful read.

2.Thirty As F***: 30 Things I Learned During My Quarter-Life Crisis

Our pick for anyone approaching that 30 mark, or just beyond. This book is a funny and interesting look at the feelings one experiences during a quarter-life crisis and the things you eventually learn as you move past it. Essentially reading for anyone struggling with the idea of ageing.

3.Defining Decade: Why Your Twenties Matter And How To Make The Most Of Them Now

The objective of this book is to stand up to the pointless presumption that the twenties are just a period of expanded youthfulness during which youngsters should fool around and attempt to get themselves. A must-read for anyone approaching or still in their twenties.

4.This One Wild and Precious Life: The Path Back to Connection in a Fractured World

We love this book because it represents a genuine effort to improve the lives of its readers. The modern world is more disconnected than ever and this text seeks to rebuild some fractured barriers in pursuit of happiness and togetherness. A heart-warming read.

7.Tears of Salt: A Doctor’s Story

As CNN described it, a story about the doctor on the front lines of the migrant crisis. Dr Pietro Bartolo runs the only clinic on the island of Lampedusa and this is his personal story. A tale of love, care and morality, heart-warming from start to finish.

8.There You’ll Find Me

This book is charm personified with so many intriguing characters. Finley Sinclair is brought to Ireland by grief but it is love that will eventually lead her home. The perfect love story for any quarter-life crisis book worm!

9.Night. Sleep. Death. The Stars.: A Novel

A must-have book about the bonds of family and the dark side of modern society in America. When a parent dies, each child reacts in a different and unexpected way. One of our favourite novels from the incredibly talented Joyce Carol Oates and impossible to put down once you read past the first page.

10.101 Secrets For Your Twenties

The book has a decent blend of light and profound themes to make it interesting and enjoyable for readers. Our pick for anyone in the early twenties or about to enter their twenties as there are some real gems in here. Such a great read from cover to cover.
