She was married with children and a good career. So why did she feel miserable  And why did it seem that other Generation X women were miserable, too \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCalhoun decided to find some answers. She looked into housing costs, HR trends, credit card debt averages, and divorce data. At every turn, she saw a pattern: sandwiched between the Boomers and the Millennials, Gen X women were facing new problems as they entered middle age, problems that were being largely overlooked.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpeaking with women across America about their experiences as the generation raised to 'have it all,' Calhoun found that most were exhausted, terrified about money, under-employed, and overwhelmed. Instead of being heard, they were told instead to lean in, take 'me-time,' or make a chore chart to get their lives and homes in order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eWhy We Can't Sleep\u003c\/em\u003e, Calhoun opens up the cultural and political contexts of Gen X's predicament and offers solutions for how to pull oneself out of the abyss-and keep the next generation of women from falling in. The result is reassuring, empowering, and essential reading for all middle-aged women, and anyone who hopes to understand them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":53984292536658,"sku":"9780802148575","price":18.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/unnamed_1b75edea-e778-4f67-a83d-8057719808ac.jpg?v=1783876328","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/why-we-cant-sleep","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
