Publisher's summary

Never before in the history of the world has more time, effort, and resources been invested into a single generation than the Millennials. Be it incredibly expensive college degrees, perfectly privileged diets, life-coping drugs, uncountable therapist visits, even bending reality so everybody was impossibly a winner, no expense was spared for the most pampered generation in human history.

But $30 trillion and 20 years later we have the biggest failure of a human crop in the history of the world. The Millennials are hopelessly indebted, perennially underemployed, they suffer more mental illness than any generation before them, and they are hopelessly armed with completely worthless degrees. They have absolutely no hope of homeownership, retirement, or family, and most will live their entire lives financially crippled with debt. They are an unmitigated sociological disaster and a tragic chapter in human history.

But it doesn't have to be this way and it doesn't have to end this way for Millennials. Because everybody can learn from the pain, suffering, and failure of the Millennials. The secret to success, wealth, happiness, and love is laying right in front of us as within every mistake they made there is the knowledge and wisdom that leads to success. We just need the courage to think critically, be honest with ourselves, and admit where we as a society have failed. If we have this come-to-jesus-meeting with ourselves, we can spare future generations the fate of the Millennials and give the Millennials themselves a fighting chance to salvage what remains of their lives. We owe it to future generations and it’s the least we can do for America’s most-tortured generation - The Millennials.

"A guide to navigate life"

Basically this book is a guide of how to live life, so you don't ruined it. Basically every one from boomers to Millennials have been lied to by propaganda in schools, government, tv ect. He talks what careers to take, don't get in debt, study STEM careers, workout, learn how to fight get a life, don't just slave for a boss that doesn't care about you.
He talks that most people don't want to know the truth or can't handle the truth prefer the lies the industrial lies complex tells them, the truth is that life is hard and there's no shortcuts.
He's trying to warned the new generation not to make the mistakes, boomers, generation x and millennials are making.

Facts that all young people need to hear

As a 23 yeard old gen Z male, these kinds of books are worth their weight in Gold. Graduated with a Busines degree but I may be going into the trades or even nursing instead. Wish I had this info at 18!

A Worthy Writing

Get your nephews and sons copies of this title. Give them the advantage over everyone else. This title explains in detail how the millennials were lied to by the Baby Boomers and why the millennials are in worse conditions than the boomers. Ultimately the book gives you the solutions to prevent yourself from being like the rest of the millennials.

Straight shooting truth bombs

Enjoyed this book on adopting a focus and truth based outlook on life. The underlying message is to focus on thriving in reality rather than keep retreating into a shell of comforting lies.
