Millennial Generation vs. All Others

#1 New Release in Demography

Discover the revolutionary power of millennials

Millennials were set up. Everyone reads the headlines. Here’s a headline people need to read: Millennials were set up! Millennials aren’t buying diamonds or saving for retirement. Millennials want cushy jobs handed to them by organizations with futuristic nap pods. 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.

Social media and social awareness. 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 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.

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.

Readers of The Next America by Paul Taylor, Generation Me by Jean M. Twenge, The Fourth Turning by William Strauss and Neil Howe will love The Gaslighting of the Millennial Generation.

About the Author

Caitlin Fisher is a sharp-tongued blogger who shares her thoughts on lifestyle, trauma, mental health, and social causes on her blog Born Again Minimalist. Caitlin Fisher wrote her first book when she was six, a self-illustrated autobiography in pencil and crayon. She never expected to publish a real book, but her life has always brought her back to the written word no matter what her professional position. As an undergraduate student she wrote for the school newspaper and relished in research papers for psychology courses, and with a Master's degree in Higher Education Administration she planned to become a professional career counselor for students, assisting with cover letters and resumes.

With fifty thousand dollars in student loan debt and zero job prospects, she temped at a real estate office in her hometown before landing a full time position as a specialty chemical purchaser, which had nothing at all to do with her educational background. After nearly four years building a freelance copywriting business, she made the leap into full-time marketing copywriting and is now a marketing content manager.
