The Narcissism Epidemic: Living in the Age of Entitlement by Jean M. Twenge
2.0
Overall, it was okay. A little ranty, but OKAY.
The last few sentences of the book really left a bad taste in my mouth, though...something about "The Chinese" eating our lunches economically, while indulgent Americans are lagging behind. This whole "me vs them" spiel is getting old, and it completely ruins the entire point that this book was trying to make.
While they're continuously trying to espouse humility and collectivism, the authors have managed to engage in another form of narcissism, with all this "rebirth-of-American-values, don't-let-the-Chinese-people-take-over" crap.
Uggghhh.
