Book excerpt: The Boomer's Guide to Online Dating is a thorough yet lighthearted guide to online dating, designed primarily to help the over-35 woman browse Internet sites--with confidence, ease, and a sense of adventure--and capture that special someone. Online dating is a national phenomenon, with some 30 million people logging on to dating sites each month. Yet many women over 35 still hesitate when it comes to browsing for a mate. That's exactly how author Judsen Culbreth felt when she found herself single again at age 49, after a 20-year marriage. Overcoming her own trepidation, she decided to take the plunge and post an online personals ad. Not only did she get 84 responses within 2 days, but eventually she found romance and a second chance at love and marriage. Now she draws upon her own online adventures and her vast experience in magazine and TV journalism to provide Boomers and mature GenXers with the guide they need to navigate their way through the three stages of cyber-courtship: defining compatibility, creating chemistry, and closing on commitment. Culbreth understands the lives and yearnings of mature single women and speaks empathetically to the concerns of her audience, addressing worries about their desirability, the safety of the Internet, and the availability of good men. Her book combines research; how-to advice; warm, personal success stories; and quizzes and exercises. Women over 35 who are ready to brave the confusing world of online dating will find the information and reassurance they seek in her breezy and very smart guide.
Download or read book Gen Z Explained written by Roberta Katz and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2022-10-26 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An optimistic and nuanced portrait of a generation that has much to teach us about how to live and collaborate in our digital world. Born since the mid-1990s, members of Generation Z comprise the first generation never to know the world without the internet, and the most diverse generation yet. As Gen Z starts to emerge into adulthood and enter the workforce, what do we really know about them? And what can we learn from them? Gen Z, Explained is the authoritative portrait of this significant generation. It draws on extensive interviews that display this generation’s candor, surveys that explore their views and attitudes, and a vast database of their astonishingly inventive lexicon to build a comprehensive picture of their values, daily lives, and outlook. Gen Z emerges here as an extraordinarily thoughtful, promising, and perceptive generation that is sounding a warning to their elders about the world around them—a warning of a complexity and depth the “OK Boomer” phenomenon can only suggest. Much of the existing literature about Gen Z has been highly judgmental. In contrast, this book provides a deep and nuanced understanding of a generation facing a future of enormous challenges, from climate change to civil unrest. What’s more, they are facing this future head-on, relying on themselves and their peers to work collaboratively to solve these problems. As Gen Z, Explained shows, this group of young people is as compassionate and imaginative as any that has come before, and understanding the way they tackle problems may enable us to envision new kinds of solutions. This portrait of Gen Z is ultimately an optimistic one, suggesting they have something to teach all of us about how to live and thrive in this digital world.

Millions tune in as the live stream goes viral, and the cameras transmit every move to the enemy.

Download or read book OK Boomer Let s Talk written by Jill Filipovic and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Particularly relevant in an election year...This book is full of data—on the economy, technology, and more—that will help millennials articulate their generational rage and help boomers understand where they’re coming from.” —The Washington Post “Jill Filipovic cuts through the noise with characteristic clarity and nuance. Behind the meme is a thoughtfully reported book that greatly contributes to our understanding of generational change.” —Irin Carmon, coauthor of the New York Times bestseller Notorious RBG Baby Boomers are the most prosperous generation in American history, but their kids are screwed. In this eye-opening book, journalist Jill Filipovic breaks down the massive problems facing Millennials including climate, money, housing, and healthcare. In Ok Boomer, Let’s Talk, journalist (and Millenial) Jill Filipovic tells the definitive story of her generation. Talking to gig workers, economists, policy makers, and dozens of struggling Millennials drowning in debt on a planet quite literally in flames, Filipovic paints a shocking and nuanced portrait of a generation being left behind: -Millennials are the most educated generation in American history—and also the most broke. -Millennials hold just 3 percent of American wealth. When they were the same age, Boomers held 21 percent. -The average older Millennial has $15,000 in student loan debt. The average Boomer at the same age? Just $2,300 in today’s dollars. -Millennials are paying almost 40 percent more for their first homes than Boomers did. -American families spend twice as much on healthcare now than they did when Boomers were young parents. Filipovic shows that Millennials are not the avocado-toast-eating snowflakes of Boomer outrage fantasies. But they are the first American generation that will do worse than their parents. “OK, Boomer” isn’t just a sarcastic dismissal—it’s a recognition that Millennials are in crisis, and that Boomer voters, bankers, and policy makers are responsible. Filipovic goes beyond the meme, upending dated assumptions with revelatory data and revealing portraits of young people delaying adulthood to pay down debt, obsessed with “wellness” because they can’t afford real healthcare, and struggling to #hustle in the precarious gig economy. Ok Boomer, Let’s Talk is at once an explainer and an extended olive branch that will finally allow these two generations to truly understand each other.
Download or read book iGen written by Jean M. Twenge and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-08-22 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As seen in Time, USA TODAY, The Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal, and on CBS This Morning, BBC, PBS, CNN, and NPR, iGen is crucial reading to understand how 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. With generational divides wider than ever, parents, educators, and employers have an urgent need to understand today’s rising generation of teens and young adults. Born in the mid-1990s up to the mid-2000s, 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 contributing to their 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. With the first members of iGen just graduating from college, we all need to understand them: friends and family need to look out for them; businesses must figure out how to recruit them and sell to them; colleges and universities must know how to educate and guide them. And members of iGen also need to understand themselves as they communicate with their elders and explain their views to their older peers. Because where iGen goes, so goes our nation—and the world.

Download or read book Baby Boomers written by Dawn Pile and published by . This book was released on 2017-11-17 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an "over a cup of coffee" warm conversational voice, Baby Boomers + intertwines reflection on the art of designing these years with the invitation to commit to and create life-giving conversations with family that will sustain and ease the time when life comes full circle. It is a splendid pairing. There are approximately 76,000,000 Baby Boomers in the United States and millions more around the world. Many have raised children and "raised" their career during earlier decades. Now is a time to "raise themselves" anew in this season of life when freedom of time and creation of fresh experiences that honor the continuum of age are filled with possibility. Dawn Sully Pile is an instigator on behalf of and along with her peers not only to live these years fully, and a passionate advocate for this generation to hold the important conversations with those they love before it is too late. She generates ideas for how to hold a peace-filled dialogue and to see the entirety of life's journey as a celebration, even when the anticipation of conversations about the end of life details feels emotional or challenging. This is the "the new and vital talk" of this generation with family, whatever the family configuration, which replaces "the talk" with their own children, or perhaps as adult mentors of children, during pre-adolescent and adolescent years. Baby Boomers + is a guide that encourages readers to tailor it as best fits them. It declares the author's deep desire that her generation chooses to be in dialogue together and proactively be the architects of conversations that ultimately allow life's completion to be blessed with thanksgiving, the antidote to regret. A chapter devoted to children of Baby Boomers + encourages them to also embrace the celebration of the full circle of life and feel permission to be proactive in the invitation to conversation.

He concludes that as we age, our ability to run marathons decreases. However, he also points out that while we are on the stage, we can still give a dynamite performance thanks to years of accumulated wisdom and experience.
