The second book that I have read by this author. It was similar to the first, and rather predictable. However, he does highlight the concerning state of the general population in the present moment.

I found this book to include good information, though a bit dated as those of us with kids now in their 20's have been living this for 15 years. There was nothing new in here. I gave the book a low rating because I found it very repetitive. I thought all the information could have been contained in a long article. Worthwhile info . Too much repetition.

This was my book clubs July book of the month. I started it as an ebook and it reads very collegiate and you want to take the time to read it. Then recently I was able to get the audiobook and finished it in 2 days while driving in this holiday traffic. It’s like attending a lecture. This book is phenomenal but also f*ck me. I have kids from 18 to 2. It has made me very aware. I highly recommend it.
