Synopsis

Millennials vs. all other generationsEveryone reads the headlines. Millennials aren’t buying diamonds or saving for retirement. Millennials want cushy jobs handed to them by organizations with futuristic nap pods. Millennials are killing the housing market because they eat too many avocados.The truth is, millennials were raised being told they could do anything if they worked hard, and then they worked hard only to be told the world owes them nothing. Here’s a headline people need to read: Millennials were set up.The strength of generational differences: The older generations begrudge so-called dependence on technology and social media, but this connection allows millennials to join together and adapt to new challenges faster than ever before. It allows people to plan massive socio-political movements at the drop of a hat, learn about new concepts and cultures, and understand more about ourselves and each other.Social media and social awareness: Social media has spread the word about recognizing emotional abuse and its effects on mental health and behavior, inspiring younger generations to take back agency and power. For every injustice someone experiences, they can find someone else to say, “Me too. You are not alone.”Millennials rising and revolting: The tide of young adults standing up for themselves is culminating in massive societal change. The Gaslighting of the Millennial Generation uncovers the misconceptions about millennials, examining not only their unique strengths but also the baggage they have inherited from Baby Boomers. It shows just how different millennials are from previous generations and why that’s a very good thing.

Goodreads review by Belle on May 23, 2021

When I saw the title of this book, I immediately jumped on it because this is truly the subject that I’ve always wanted there to be a book about. I’ve always been one to rally behind my generation and to stand up against older generations who for years have put my generation down as just a bunch of......more

Goodreads review by Tim on May 15, 2020

I am a millennial. For years, I have put up with a lot of shit from boomers about what I am doing with my life, and what I am not doing with my life. When I speak of my life experiences, as well as support the experiences of my friends, I have experienced minimization and yes, gaslighting from boome......more

Goodreads review by Casie on April 26, 2020

An easy read. Lightly touches on several issues without delving into deeply. In some places cheeky, but great to read with a friend and discuss!......more

Goodreads review by Beth & Luna on December 04, 2020

It's an okay book. Some of the advice is good, some of it not so much. Could have done without the entire chapter on gender. Nothing to write home about.......more

Goodreads review by Jessica on February 17, 2021

Great book! Sometimes the author gets off-topic/ranty but they generally bring it back in the end. It's part self-help (with information on resumes, finding a job, picking out a college) and part discussion on the collective mistreatment/manipulation of a generation that was given a shit hand of car......more
