Synopsis:
10 to 25 explores the critical years of development between adolescence and young adulthood, revealing how motivation, learning, and decision-making evolve during this transformative period. Drawing on modern neuroscience and behavioral research, the book explains why traditional approaches to discipline, education, and encouragement often fall short with young people. It offers insight into how identity, independence, and purpose shape motivation, and how adults can better support growth without control or pressure. Thoughtful and accessible, the book reframes common frustrations into understanding, showing how to foster resilience, engagement, and long-term success during the years when the brain is still under construction.
