Author Description

In the late 1780s, Thomas Jefferson said: Every generation needs a new revolution. Was he a futurist, or just stating a fact as old as time? We are living longer, more productive lives, resulting in a clash of values and belief systems. Misunderstandings (and worse) in all aspects of today's society often result because we don't take the time to understand what is important to others and why. Thompson's book draws attention to the new paradigm for society in an easy-to-read, humorous style that helps her readers appreciate this tangled web we're weaving. From the G.I. Generation to the Millennials, she takes you on a journey across the 20th Century and beyond, showing how each decade has influenced and defined those who experienced and survived it. From the home to the office and all points between, Thompson's book will make interacting with this bewildering jumble of humanity an anticipated experience rather than an agonizing chore.
