iGen

Why is the Internet generation growing less rebellious, more tolerant, less happy—and completely unprepared for life?

In this book, Dr. Jean M. Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University, paints a unique portrait of a new generation that doesn’t want to grow up, lives among anxieties previous generations never faced, and shows indifference to the standard “adult temptations” like sex and alcohol. At the same time, this new generation also avoids “adult responsibilities”: it takes its time getting driver’s licenses, moving out from parents, and gaining financial independence.

Generation I has already entered adulthood—and that’s exactly why a comprehensive explanation of this global phenomenon is needed now. Because the path that Generation I chooses will become a new path for all humanity.

“Best Science Book of 2017” according to Wired Magazine.

“Twenge’s book is a black mirror of modern society,” — Hollywood Reporter.
