"In my travels around the world, I have been very impressed by today's young people. They are smart, caring, creative, and generous. I share the hope expressed by Greenberg and Weber that this new generation will help re-orient our planet and conquer the problems of poverty, war, and pollution that currently plague it."
"Energy, health care, national security, the environment—these are just some of the issues where Americans are hungry for solutions rather than slogans and posturing. I see hope in the fact that, as Greenberg and Weber detail in this important book, America's next generation will be prepared to help lead the search for real answers."
"In a political world poisoned by cynicism and spin, the idealism, optimism, commitment, and energy of the Millennial generation offer an inspiring antidote. With their independent thinking and their readiness to abandon the partisan wars we've been fighting for too long, today's young people are poised to lead a worldwide revolution. Generation We captures this transformational moment with insight and clarity."
"We live in amazing times—times of looming crisis as well as incredible opportunity. Tens of millions of young people around the world are eager for change and looking for ways to employ their unprecedented levels of knowledge, talent, and energy. Greenberg and Weber's GENERATION WE offers a roadmap for the revolutionary movement the Millennials are ready to launch."
"For too long, Americans have allowed themselves to be divided&mdashliberal against conservative, rich against poor, race against race&mdashwhile the challenges we face have gone unmet. It's time for a new politics based on innovation and a shared commitment to the greater good, and Greenberg and Weber explain how American youth are ready to help make it happen.""For too long, Americans have allowed themselves to be divided—liberal against conservative, rich against poor, race against race—while the challenges we face have gone unmet. It's time for a new politics based on innovation and a shared commitment to the greater good, and Greenberg and Weber explain how American youth are ready to help make it happen."
"Greenberg's important study reveals some fascinating and encouraging trends among the Millennials, and he teams with Weber to challenge that unique group (and the rest of us) to seize the opportunity. By calling the status quo as they see it, and then painting on a large canvas with broad strokes, they will turn some heads--and they should. There is nothing timid about their agenda. It's the perfect antidote for today's pessimists."
"The Millennials— and this extraordinary book, filled with passionate intelligence—have the potential to rock the world awake from its numbness at a time when it's most needed. Highly recommended.""The Millennials&mdashand this extraordinary book, filled with passionate intelligence&mdashave the potential to rock the world awake from its numbness at a time when it's most needed. Highly recommended."
"The Bible tells us, "... a little child shall lead them." Unfortunately, we fight that leadership tooth and nail. My own generation hated our kids' music until we started rocking to it, despised their fashions until we started, often absurdly, to wear them. In this book, Greenberg and Weber chronicle today's wonderful young people as they push, pull, and propel us all toward global salvation."
"Ever since Strauss and Howe identified the potential of the Millennials in their book Generations, I have followed this group with fascination. They will change everything through their commitment to service and the common good, which is akin to that of Brokaw's 'greatest generation.' In Generation We, Eric Greenberg and Karl Weber offer us the first read on what is in store for our country and the world from these remarkable young people."
"This remarkable work sets out a thoughtful and optimistic agenda for America's future. The in-depth research and analysis in Generation We will help the Congress better understand the critical intersection of demographics, economics and ethics. Those seeking to build a bipartisan coalition to fix American health care will find Generation We a valuable guide because it provides policy solutions rather than political spin."
"The differences between pre-Millennials and post are really revolutionary, and are the greatest cause for optimism today. Eric Greenberg's Generation We does a fantastic job of helping the rest of us understand not only how deep these differences are, but their specifics, many of which are counter-intuitive. The world's going to be in good hands, and this book is the best I've seen at explaining why."
"Each generation sees the world through new eyes, and remakes the world in its own image. Each generation does something amazing that no one thought possible. In the 20th century, young people tore down Jim Crow segregation and ended apartheid in America. In the 21st century, young people are building something brand new, something beautiful that nobody has seen before. In "Generation We," Greenberg and Weber give us a special insight into exactly what this new "Millenial Generation" is up to, and how it just might save us all."
