A groundbreaking, Òlavishly informativeÓ (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 anotherÑfrom 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 surveysÑsome going back nearly a centuryÑto show that changes in technology are the underlying driver of each generationÕs 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 Ògets you thinking about how appreciating generational differences can, ironically, bring us togetherÓ (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.
