About this listen

 A groundbreaking, “lavishly informative” (The New York Times) portrait of the six generations that currently live in the United States and how they connect, conflict, and compete with one another—from the acclaimed author of Generation Me and iGen.

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. Anthropology Social Sciences

This book is so well written and so well read. I learned so much that I didn't know before I listened to this book. The book is never boring but kept my interest all the way through. I loved how the chapters were broken up into about 10 minute sections so that I could start and stop listening without losing my grasp of the content. The narrator is great and really takes an interest in the topic. I highly recommend this book! I see the world in a new way now, after listening to it.

Such an informative book!
