Quotes by Laura L. Carstensen (?)

“If you’re wondering which age group is actually the least happy, it’s the twentysomethings. Despite being flush with youthful vigor and opportunity, they are the most depressed and stressed out of any age group. Part of this stems from their own perspective on where they are in the human life cycle—as young adults, with oceans of time in front of them, they are constantly faced with decisions to make about their futures, from who they will be to what they will do. Worse, they’re acutely sensitive to what everyone else thinks about them and their choices.”
― Laura L. Carstensen, A Long Bright Future: Happiness, Health, and Financial Security in an Age of Increased Longevity
