iGen: Why Today's Super-Connected Kids are Growing Up Less Rebellious, More Tolerant, Less Happy - and Completely Unprepared for Adulthood

They were born after 1995. They grew up with cell phones, had an Instagram page before they started high school, and do not remember a time before the Internet. They are iGen.

In the book that has sparked conversations around the world, Dr. Jean Twenge offers a revelatory portrait of a new generation growing up more slowly and more anxious - but also more socially tolerant and safe - than any generation in history. Through her deep analysis of data drawn from more than 11 million respondents over multiple decades, Dr. Twenge identifies iGen's surprising attitudes toward religion, sexuality, and politics, as well as unprecedented levels of anxiety and loneliness. As this new group of young people grows into adulthood, parents, educators, and employers have an urgent need to understand them. Because where iGen goes, so goes our nation - and the world.
