About this listen

Millennials vs. all other generations: Everyone reads the headlines. Millennials aren’t buying diamonds or saving for retirement. Millennials want cushy jobs handed to them by organizations with futuristic nap pods. Millennials are killing the housing market because they eat too many avocados.

The truth is, millennials were raised being told they could do anything if they worked hard, and then they worked hard only to be told the world owes them nothing. Here’s a headline people need to read: Millennials were set up.

The strength of generational differences: The older generations begrudge so-called dependence on technology and social media, but this connection allows millennials to join together and adapt to new challenges faster than ever before. It allows people to plan massive socio-political movements at the drop of a hat, learn about new concepts and cultures, and understand more about ourselves and each other.

Social media and social awareness: Social media has spread the word about recognizing emotional abuse and its effects on mental health and behavior, inspiring younger generations to take back agency and power. For every injustice someone experiences, they can find someone else to say, “Me too. You are not alone.”

Millennials rising and revolting: The tide of young adults standing up for themselves is culminating in massive societal change. The Gaslighting of the Millennial Generation uncovers the misconceptions about millennials, examining not only their unique strengths but also the baggage they have inherited from Baby Boomers. It shows just how different millennials are from previous generations and why that’s a very good thing.

Another generation speaks up

Funny enough, every generation has a complaint about the previous generation or two. Really this book is a reminder that millennials have a voice too and they are publishing it. The big differences are technology and lack of patience… Lack of patience because technology has given us false ideas of what else we can accomplish?

The book comes off more arrogant than empowering. But I think the goal was empowering. Either way, it was a good reminder about boundaries and validating your own desires.

telling me what I want to hear.

It was a good book and I reccomend it to those unversed in the social sphere,, but identify as a millennial. It is more practical and approachable rather than deeply analytical or historical. The political basis is solidly liberal(neoliberal to be specific) so the critiques of capitalism are there but it is not capitalism's fault. If you are a dedicated leftist you may already know the issues presented here, and if you are on the right you will not last past the dating chapter. Still the data and advice presented in the book are factual and good, and the author helps display the changes Millenials are making in society and I don't want to rate it less because I wanted more out of it.

meehhh

We are all entitled an opinion, I suppose, but that doesn't mean we should write a book.

In the beginning I found it a little insightful. I was giving an open mind, but as it continued this turned into a biased, pitty part. I feel like the author was scolding the reader. To clarify, by definition I am considered a milineal. I can relate to these topics, but a lot of this was frustrating.

Soso

I believe in half of this book and strongly disagree with most of the end/ last couple chapters
I also want to know where the author got their research and other information from

The first half was ok-ish

I enjoyed the parts where it pointed out the issues within our school system, boys being placed in special ed, and the problems of the Boomer generation. But once the author added in her personal bias of men then she lost me. So eat the meat and spit out the bones I guess.

I struggled with this one

The writing was good and I liked the style though the content was difficult to swallow. To be honest, it came across as a bit whiny and lacking on research. As a millennial, I heard a lot of your points and thought, "oh yeah that's right." However, there were also topics that made me just cringe. For example, saying that millennials are better at forming support groups and comforting people after funerals isn't a generational trait, it's just something humans have always done. I think back to my grandmother, of the silent generation, and how she started an AA chapter in her town and has been involved in it for over 50 years. What I'm saying is that if you had some numbers to back up the claim, I might have believed it. Unfortunately, a lot of the statements on millennials came across as personal gripes, which is fine, just not very honest.

Super Woke.

I listened through to the end of the book with the hope that it would get better but it never did. The title was very misleading. The author wrote about my generation as if we all held the same mainstream liberal ideologies. The book wasn't about the majority of millennials or gaslighting. However if you are a woke millennial this book is for you.

it's all your parents fault

wow, that's all you have to say, that is one of the most self-serving self-entitled trip I've read in a long time or heard rather.
it demonstrates however the millennial mindset and why they feel that everybody owes them everything.
this really was a trip down Wallowing lane.

Millennial self-help

Not what I was looking for. While it did contain some informative facts and pointed the readers to articles and studies, it ended up being more self-help and guide to adulting for the millennial cohort.
