À propos de cet audio
An entertaining first look at how today's members of iGen - the children, teens, and young adults born in the mid-1990s and later - are vastly different from their millennial predecessors and from any other generation, from the renowned psychologist and author of Generation Me.
With generational divides wider than ever, parents, educators, and employers have an urgent need to understand today's rising generation of teens and young adults. Born in the mid-1990s to the mid-2000s and later, iGen is the first generation to spend their entire adolescence in the age of the smartphone. With social media and texting replacing other activities, iGen spends less time with their friends in person - perhaps why they are experiencing unprecedented levels of anxiety, depression, and loneliness.
But technology is not the only thing that makes iGen distinct from every generation before them; they are also different in how they spend their time, in how they behave, and in their attitudes toward religion, sexuality, and politics. They socialize in completely new ways, reject once sacred social taboos, and want different things from their lives and careers. More than previous generations, they are obsessed with safety, focused on tolerance, and have no patience for inequality. iGen is also growing up more slowly than previous generations: 18-year-olds look and act like 15-year-olds used to.
As this new group of young people grows into adulthood, we all need to understand them: Friends and family need to look out for them; businesses must figure out how to recruit them and sell to them; colleges and universities must know how to educate and guide them. And members of iGen also need to understand themselves as they communicate with their elders and explain their views to their older peers. Because where iGen goes, so goes our nation - and the world.

Scary but good!
As a millennial even I am scared of the iGeneration. This book was a very interesting read and definitely helps to explain some of the social changes we are seeing, especially on campuses. I highly recommend everyone read this book as some of the conclusions are very concerning.

Great observations: weak conclusions
This book is a bizarre mix of fascinating observations and heavy-handed conclusions. When Twenge sticks to observing iGen attitudes and the contrast of those with other generations, her work is illuminating. When she beats to death the reader with her (not well backed-up) conclusion that mobile phones are the primary cause of young people’s high levels of anxiety, she weakens her work. She seems to understand nothing of economics and the lingering impact of the Great Recession’s continuing impact on society. She seems to understand little of how helicopter parenting and safetyism are driving kids to rely on their mobiles to interact rather than hang out together. It’d be nice to have a version of the book that cuts out the preaching and focuses on the observations.

Helps understand a new generation
I really appreciate the content of the book, it is thorough in reviewing differences between Igen, millenials and boomers, and does a good job at backing the data with testimonials. It has great insights on understanding a new generation and helps bridging a gap.
However I found the writing quite typical of an academic. If there is a PDF with the book, I did not find the figures cited as supporting material, which made the delivery of numbers and facts more tedious.
I did not find the writing compelling, and the narration did not help. The reading did not make the overall presentation more engaging.
I recommend the book for the value it brings, but would maybe get the hard copy instead of the audio version.
