The Journey of Adulthood explains the dynamic process of lifespan development from emerging adulthood until end of life. Referencing both large longitudinal and smaller studies, the text explores the influences of gender, culture, ethnicity, race and socioeconomic background upon aging.

Authors Barbara Bjorklund and Julie Earles have updated the 10th Edition to reflect changes in the field as well as the world around us. New coverage of the impact of COVID-19 includes material on the disease's effects on cognition and discussion of the increase in remote work as a result of the pandemic. Other fresh topics include the predictive power of personality traits, depression and anxiety surrounding menopause, the health effects of job loss, green burial practices and more.
