Summary of Anne Helen Petersen's Can't Even

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The millennial burnout piece received a lot of criticism from boomers, who said we don’t know what hard work is. In truth, boomers are the ones who taught us to expect more from our careers, and consider our exhaustion and thoughts on the state of work important.

#2 Boomers, as a generation, were extremely wealthy and experienced a period of unprecedented economic stability, but their adulthood was marked by anxiety and resentment towards the criticisms levied at them by their parents’ generation.

#3 The train ride of growth and progress that had characterized the lives of boomers all their lives had significantly slowed. There were multiple, interlocking reasons for this deceleration, and they all came back to the Labor Relations Act of 1935, which gave unions legal protections.

#4 The benefits of the Great Compression were not equally distributed. The protections fought for by unions and granted by the U. S. government did not extend to the millions of workers in the home and in the field.
