In this provocative new book, headline-making psychologist and social commentator Dr. Jean Twenge explores why the young people she calls "Generation Me" -- those born in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s -- are tolerant, confident, open-minded, and ambitious but also cynical, depressed, lonely, and anxious.<P><P>Herself a member of Generation Me, Dr. Twenge uses findings from the largest intergenerational research study ever conducted -- with data from 1.3 million respondents spanning six decades -- to reveal how profoundly different today's young adults are. Here are the often shocking truths about this generation, including dramatic differences in sexual behavior, as well as controversial predictions about what the future holds for them and society as a whole. Her often humorous, eyebrow-raising stories about real people vividly bring to life the hopes and dreams, disappointments and challenges of Generation Me. <P><P>GenMe has created a profound shift in the American character, changing what it means to be an individual in today's society. The collision of this generation's entitled self-focus and today's competitive marketplace will create one of the most daunting challenges of the new century. Engaging, controversial, prescriptive, funny, <I>Generation Me</i> will give Boomers new insight into their offspring, and help those in their teens, 20s, and 30s finally make sense of themselves and their goals and find their road to happiness.<P><P> 533560 2006 Generation Me: Why Today's Young Americans Are More Confident, Assertive, Entitled--and More Miserable Than Ever Before total:392|5:70|4:145|3:129|2:35|1:11| 392 1406 822 120 0 5 false false Tue May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Aug 12 13:12:38 -0700 2007 Sun Aug 12 13:16:28 -0700 2007 more...]]> 1 6 false false Fri Jun 27 07:47:32 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 27 09:30:13 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 3 false false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Aug 20 03:56:53 -0700 2007 Sat Sep 01 07:30:14 -0700 2007 more...]]> 2 3 false false Sun Feb 08 19:28:32 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 09 23:43:53 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 2 false false Wed May 28 17:12:13 -0700 2008 Wed May 28 17:39:22 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 3 false false Thu May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Apr 03 14:14:28 -0700 2008 Thu May 29 07:14:50 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 2 false false Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed May 07 08:06:21 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 04 13:05:33 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 1 false false Sat Nov 14 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Jun 14 11:39:05 -0700 2009 Sat Nov 14 12:03:12 -0800 2009 more...]]> 2 1 false false Thu May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu May 08 14:53:23 -0700 2008 Fri May 16 11:40:12 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Jan 20 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 26 18:25:28 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 26 18:33:04 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Fri May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 02 23:16:54 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 02 23:38:11 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Fri Jun 12 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 12 20:45:41 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 14 07:27:28 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon May 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon May 04 17:53:32 -0700 2009 Mon May 18 09:10:09 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Mar 24 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Jan 24 15:15:45 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 24 15:20:51 -0800 2009
