Book Summary

The Rocket Years by Elizabeth Segran is a thought-provoking guide that explores how the choices people make in their twenties have a long-lasting impact on the rest of their lives. Drawing on personal stories, interviews, and research from fields like sociology, psychology, and economics, Segran breaks down major life areas—such as career, relationships, friendships, health, politics, and hobbies—and shows how decisions in these domains shape one’s identity and future. She compares the twenties to the launch phase of a rocket, where the direction and force set the course for the entire journey ahead. Rather than prescribing a rigid path, the book encourages self-awareness and intentionality, offering insights for young adults navigating a time of both uncertainty and opportunity.
