The Real Difference Between the Generations

Jeantwenge.com

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
