Generations

The Real Differences between Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, Boomers, and Silents—and What They Mean for America's Future

De: Jean M. Twenge PhD

Narrado por: Madeleine Maby

A groundbreaking, revelatory portrait of the five generations that make up today’s population, from the bestselling author of Generation Me and iGen. Dr. Jean Twenge has analyzed millions of data points to glean the attitudes, characteristics, and life circumstances that define each generation, resulting in a fascinating look at how they connect, conflict, and compete with each other.

Upending the conventional theory that generational differences are caused by major events, Dr. Jean Twenge analyzes data on 39 million people from robust national surveys—some going back nearly a century—to show that changes in technology are the underlying driver of each generation’s unique makeup. In this revelatory work, Twenge outlines key shifts in attitudes and lifestyle choices that define each generation regarding gender, income, politics, race, sexuality, marriage, mental health, and much more.

Surprising, engaging, and informative, Generations “gets you thinking about how appreciating generational differences can, ironically, bring us together” (Angela Duckworth, New York Times bestselling author). It will forever change the way you view your parents, peers, coworkers, and children, no matter which generation you call your own.

Great book!

Clear and efficient writing style, great presentation of statistics, empathetic and enlightening discussion of each generation.

Insightful

A little dry (lots of stats) but very well researched with insights into trends we've seen and what we might expect in the future,

well researched, well read

amazing book about Individualism and how it has been a driving force in how the different generations living in America interact with and perceive each other. reading iGen next!!

Time to stop stereotyping and start getting to know one another

I loved the logical fact filled approach to understanding the differences between generations, but the facts were very relatable too and really helped me to understand the differences in all generations, the whys for those differences and the changes to come.

The Timing !

The Timing of this book could not have been any better than now! This is a much needed look at why we are where we are as a culture!
