What does it mean to be young today? In the summer of 2010, Robin Marantz Henig wrote a
provocative article for the New York Times Magazine called
“What Is It About 20-Somethings?” It generated enormous
reader response and started a conversation that included
both millennials and baby boomers. Now, working with her
millennial daughter Samantha, she expands the project to
give us a full portrait of what it means to be in your
twenties today. Looking through many lenses, the Henigs ask whether emerging
adulthood has truly become a new rite of passage. They
examine the latest neuroscience and psychological research,
the financial pressures young people face now, changing
cultural expectations, the aftereffects of helicopter
parenting, and the changes that have arisen from social
media and all things Internet. Most important, they have
surveyed more than 120 millennials and baby boomers to give
voice to both viewpoints of a conversation that is usually
one-sided.
