I'm Special: And Other Lies We Tell Ourselves by Ryan O'Connell
4.0
In this nonfiction title, Ryan O'Connell talks about the millennial experience by recounting personal anecdotes. He enunciates that ours is a generation that considers themselves special and different from others. While this book is autobiographical in nature with the author sharing his story, it also works as a self-help book as it compels us to reflect on our thoughts and actions. Themes such as money, substance abuse, sexuality and employment are woven into the narrative in an attempt to define what it is like to be a millennial.
There's a lot to this book that you'd be able to connect with. Moreover, the dry humor that permeates every chapter makes the writing all the more engaging. It does not take away from the seriousness of certain topics, but also conveys them in a manner that enhances one's understanding of the worldly truths contained within the passages.
If you've been on the fence about reading nonfiction, you should consider giving this a try.
