The Way We Live Now: The Why Worry Generation
-Do you think the criticisms of Gen Y are spot on, or inaccurate, from personal experience?
-Do you think that the ability to keep "deep discouragement" at bay is worthwhile if this ability is also accompanied by a tendency to overestimate one's own abilities?
-Will you turn down a job if you do not think it matches your potential?
-Do you think you have an accurate idea of your own abilities?
-Do you think overconfidence is something that spans different socioeconomic statuses, different ethnic communities, different religions/cultures in the US? Or has this type of upbringing been limited to certain groups?
-What other countries do you know of where the popular childraising technique is to praise at all times? Is the same problem prevalent there?
