Praise for
The Gaslighting of the Millennial Generation
“The Gaslighting of the Millennial Generation systematically debunks most of the media’s oversimplifying claims about our generation.”
—Caroline Beaton, journalist for Forbes, Psychology Today, and The Huffington Post
“This is a must-read for anyone who wants a better understanding of the betrayal of a generation told they could be anything if they worked hard, only to be mocked and shamed as the American Dream slips further from their grasp. It’s time to listen, rather than blame the messengers.”
—Melanie Childers, Master Certified Confidence Coach
“So often media outlets throw my generation in my face as the ruiners of life, which makes Caitlin Fisher’s book necessary, among other things. Her musings are relatable, her writing style is hilarious, and her unwavering support of Millennials makes me proud to be one. Kudos to her for offering up her personal insights as a connector for so many of us.”
—Nina Rossi, founder, Bright Thoughts
“Millennials are killing it. It’s time we stopped blaming them and started thanking them. Caitlin Fisher explains why in this insightful, relatable book.”
—L. S. Quinn, founder, Reading Room CLE
“A true Millennial, Fisher built an accidentally viral blog post into a full-length book packed with humor, insight, and call-outs. The artful way she weaves personal anecdotes into data analysis gives the reader a true glance into why so many Millennials are ‘killing’ society as we know it.”
—Jess Reed, teacher, author’s sister
