Basic premise is that the next generation are moral relativists, who are pathologically individualistic, over-abuse substances, and have separated sex from emotion. While I agree with many of the points, and do think our culture is poorly equipped to face coming challenges, sometimes the book came across as 'hating on Millenials'...as though our current anomie is concentrated just within the very young.

I am shocked, shocked! to discover that America's youth are a bunch of shallow narcissists! At least according to these researchers.

Very comprehensive analysis of the darker side of emerging adulthood. Could probably be the basis for some serious cultural and political movements if we took the connection between some of the challenges and shortcomings of emerging adulthood and larger cultural trends seriously.
