      abstract = {The Associated Press calls them "The Entitlement  Generation," and they are storming into schools, colleges,  and businesses all over the country. They are a generation  with sky-high expectations and a need for constant praise  and fulfillment. Psychologist and social commentator Twenge  documents the self-focus of what she calls "Generation  Me"--people born in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s--and  explores why her generation is tolerant, confident,  open-minded, and ambitious but also cynical, depressed,  lonely, and anxious. Using findings from the largest  intergenerational study ever conducted, Twenge reveals how  profoundly different today's young adults are, and makes  controversial predictions about what the future holds for  them and society as a whole. But Dr. Twenge doesn't just  talk statistics--she highlights real-life people and  stories and vividly brings to life the hopes and dreams,  disappointments and challenges of Generation Me.--From  publisher description.},
