Generation Me: Why Today's Young Americans Are More Confident, Assertive, Entitled—and More Miserable Than Ever Before is a data-driven book by psychologist Jean M. Twenge. It examines the generation born roughly in the 1970s through the 1990s (often called Millennials or Gen Y), whom Twenge dubs "Generation Me" or "GenMe." Twenge bases her analysis on the largest intergenerational studies conducted at the time, drawing from surveys of over 1.3 million respondents spanning six decades. She contrasts "GenMe" with earlier generations (Boomers, Gen X, etc.) to show profound cultural shifts toward individualism. The book is sympathetic yet provocative, warning that unchecked individualism (while empowering) has costs for mental health and society. Twenge offers insights for older generations understanding "their offspring" and practical advice for "GenMe" on navigating happiness amid the clash of expectations and reality. It remains influential (and sometimes controversial) for sparking debates on generational change, self-esteem culture, and modern unhappiness.
