Summer Book Club: iGen Article

This summer we are continuing our book club! And to make things easier, we are not even reading a whole book. We’re reading this article:

More comfortable online than out partying, post-Millennials are safer, physically, than adolescents have ever been. But they’re on the brink of a mental-health crisis.

We will be meeting together to hear your thoughts on this and discus the article on Saturday, July 14th from 10-noon at the Civitas office.

This article has been adapted from Jean M. Twenge’s forthcoming book, iGen: 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.
