Generations : the real differences between Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, Boomers, and Silents--and what they mean for America's future / Jean M. Twenge, PhD.
The North America is currently home to six generations of people: the Silents, born 1925-1945; Baby Boomers, born 1946-1964; Gen X, born 1965-1979; Millennials, born 1980-1994; Gen Z, born 1995-2012; and the still-to-be-named cohorts born after 2012. They have had vastly different life experiences and thus, one assumes, they must have vastly diverging beliefs and behaviours. But what are those differences, what causes them, and how deep do they actually run? Surprising, engaging, and informative, this book will forever change the way you view your parents, peers, coworkers, and children.

A groundbreaking, âlavishly informativeâ (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 anotherâfrom 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 surveysâsome going back nearly a centuryâto show that changes in technology are the underlying driver of each generationâs 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 âgets you thinking about how appreciating generational differences can, ironically, bring us togetherâ (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.
