Summary: We've all heard the sentiment-that Generations X, Y and Z have grown increasingly self-absorbed from over four decades of nurturing and education based on boosting self-esteem. But how did we get here? This program is one man's journey looking at the different generations, including their history, cultural identity, traits and trends, to find out how we arrived here. Young people have more freedom and independence than ever; but the culture of narcissism is nearly epidemic. Antoine Gaber dissects the very real collision between generational expectations and reality, and how to bridge this generational divide to move toward a better future.
