In this episode, we're talkin' bout the generations. Guest Dr. Jean Twenge is the author of the endlessly fascinating new book Generations: The Real Differences Between Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, Boomers, and Silents—and What They Mean for America's Future.

Twenge dives into government surveys, databases, and scientific studies to give a revelatory report on why generations change, what makes each generation unique, and how we can learn from each other. I understand my kids and my parents so much better now!

Some of the topics we cover:

• How technology, not major historical events, plays a significant role in generational differences

• The impact of the change from individualism to collectivism

• Why baby names have changed over the years. Hello, Olivia, Goodbye Nancy.

• The reason so many people have so much disdain for Boomers and Millennials

• The sad truth about Gen Z and depression
