Reviews
"Those vague hunches we have about this generation -- Twenge does a huge, decidedly un-GenX amount of research and replaces them with actual data. Her writing is lucid and entertaining, and she's unafraid to draw bold conclusions when necessary. It's nothing new for a generation to be misunderstood by popular and commercial culture, but the one she describes has been misdrawn to the point of absurdity; refreshing, then, to have someone swap those persistent old myths for thoughtful, careful observations." -- Chris Colin, author of "What Really Happened to the Class of '93: Start-ups, Dropouts, and Other Navigations Through an Untidy Decade", "Immensely readable.... Weiner's gift lies in her ability to create characters who both amuse us and make us care." -- "The Washington Post", "Dr. Twenge provides an insightful analysis of the young adults she labels 'GenMe' -- their supreme self-confidence in their own worth, their concern with doing things 'their way,' and the benefits and costs that come from their focus on themselves. Twenge draws upon her outstanding research to describe generational differences and their sources, lending an authority to her analysis that few previous commentators on GenMe have enjoyed." -- Susan Nolen-Hoeksema, Ph.D., professor, Yale University, and author ofWomen Who Think Too Much, "An informed, rollicking look at the epidemic narcissism, illusory optimism, and anxiety and depression of today's younger Americans. Compelling reading, "Generation Me" has all the makings of a culturally significant, major book. It's provocative. It speaks to many parents' concerns. It reveals the benefits and costs of America's radical individualism. It has the potential to be what "The Greening of America, Future Shock, " and other such books have been for previous generations. Rooted in science and rich in anecdotes, "Generation Me" is marvelously written with a sparkling humor." -- David G. Myers, author of "The American Paradox: Spiritual Hunger in an Age of Plenty", "Dr. Twenge provides an insightful analysis of the young adults she labels 'GenMe' -- their supreme self-confidence in their own worth, their concern with doing things 'their way, ' and the benefits and costs that come from their focus on themselves.

Weiner's snappy dialogue and captivating characters make "Little Earthquakes" endlessly appealing." -- "People", "Jean Twenge is not only dedicated as a researcher and social scientist, she is clearly passionate about it. In this forward-thinking, clear-eyed book, she immediately stands out as a social critic of substance, in a world of dogmatic and chattering media pundits who are only guessing when they are 'covering' major social trends and generational changes." -- Paula Kamen, author ofFeminist FataleandHer Way: Young Women Remake the Sexual Revolution, "In this startling, witty, and refreshing book, a pioneering researcher explains how the very personality of the average American is different....Based on careful, groundbreaking research, but filled with touching and amusing stories, this book explains exactly how the American character is changing and evolving, sometimes for the better, sometimes not." -- Roy F. Baumeister, author of "The Cultural Animal: Human Nature, Meaning, and Social Life" and Eppes Eminent Professor of Psychology, Florida State University, "Jean Twenge is not only dedicated as a researcher and social scientist, she is clearly passionate about it.
