September 17, 2007Book Review – who knew – we’re a lot alike

Filed under: Book Reviews by merylrunion |

I had just read yet another article about how different the generations are from each other. And I bought it. How could it not be true?

I found out how it could not be true in reading the book Retiring the Generation Gap.

People are different, but when we find someone who is different from us who also happens to be a different generation, we tend to think it’s about age.

I tested the book’s theories in Diversity Training called Walk in My Style, Gender and Generation’s Shoes on a military base last week.

The verdict came in before the seminar ended. We have more in common than we knew. Read my review of Retiring the Generation Gap here.
