The UCFSD Wellness Committee Presents: iGen Book discussion & Author Visit
Why Today’s Super-Connected Kids Are Growing Up
Less Rebellious, More Tolerant, Less Happy--and Completely Unprepared
for Adulthood--and
What That Means for the Rest of Us
The UCFSD Wellness Committee is working to create awareness and conversation around the topic of the "iGen" generation. iGen is the first generation to spend their entire adolescence in the age of the smartphone. With social media and texting replacing other activities, iGen spends less time with their friends in person—perhaps why they are experiencing unprecedented levels of anxiety, depression, and loneliness.
But technology is not the only thing that makes iGen distinct from every generation before them; they are also different in how they spend their time, how they behave, and in their attitudes toward religion, sexuality, and politics. They socialize in completely new ways, reject once sacred social taboos, and want different things from their lives and careers. More than previous generations, they are obsessed with safety, focused on tolerance, and have no patience for inequality.
A highly readable and entertaining first look at how today’s members of iGen—the children, teens, and young adults born in the mid-1990s and later—are vastly different from their Millennial predecessors, and from any other generation, from the renowned psychologist and author of Generation Me.

Hardcover - $15.51
Kindle - $12.99
SAVE THE DATE - Dr. Twenge will be visiting UCFSD April 12-13, 2018.
