Description

Millennials live in a world of opportunity, characterized by the constant pursuit of personal growth and a belief that to hit the pause button would be catastrophic to a career. Within this context, Millennials in the Modern Workforce: Embracing Solitude in a Hyperconnected Society explores ideas such as the ruthlessness of comparison amongst millennials and outlines guidelines for overcoming these pressures. Drawing on case studies of millennials from networks such as the Global Shapers Community, Emerson Csorba shares insights and makes suggestions on how millennials can thrive in a world that favours immediacy and superficiality. Both practical and critical, this book is timely and refreshing for millennials looking to overcome the social pressures around them and to advance their work and lives, while also cultivating the skills and qualities required to better know themselves in the process.
