We venture here into some very controversial but fascinating analytical territory. Much of today’s youth generation, especially its dark side, is characterized by high levels of narcissism, strong sense of entitlement, self absorption, and the lack of focus, purpose, and responsibility.

 

It’s not a pretty picture, especially when experts pile on with more generational criticism - weak skill sets, self-destructive behaviors, excessive consumption, over-intoxication, limited willpower, poor self-control, and lack of empathy. Easily distracted and exhibiting high levels of stress, depression, and unemployment, many young people were raised with inflated self-esteem ("you’re beautiful," "you’re a winner," and "first love yourself") but with few corresponding accomplishments to justify their sense of grandiosity.

 

Accordingly, it’s a very confident, assertive, and unhappy generation that has difficulty transitioning to the sobering realities of responsible adulthood (jobs, finances, marriage, family).

 

The following collection of thought-provoking books takes an inside look at what has been happening with this generation and the implications for a society that may well be undergoing many dysfunctional changes precipitated by its troubled youth trying to also come to terms with a poor economy and dreadful job market. The collection includes inspiring resources on self-control, happiness, and practical wisdom.
