Episode notes

I'm wondering if you have seen a generational change in the way generations are regarded. There has been an embracing of applying labels to ourselves and using them to understand ourselves. And from that perspective, then I, it gives me a little bit more grace with a generation. Like if it helps you understand yourself, fine,. If it helps you understanding yourself to, I used to be risen to astrology too. Now I'm like, look, if it help you to say I'm a cancer, so I'm like this, go for it as long as you're not using it to harm or judge other people, which sometimes people do, but hopefully they don't.

Are Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, and Baby Boomers truly distinct groups or just convenient labels? With millions of individuals in each category, it's hard to imagine they all share common experiences. Together with renowned psychologist Jean Twenge, Adam unravels the conventional notions of generations, exploring when these labels can be helpful and when they might miss the mark.
