Abigail Shrier talking to Glinner

Sorry if someone posted this already - couldn't find anything.

I really, really like this woman, more and more every time I hear her speak. She's very clear and sensible. She talks to Graham about the reaction to her book and the differences between the conversation in the US and over here. At one point she's talking about 'microaggressions' and says that as a Jewish woman, she's known Holocaust survivors who complain less than young people of gen Z!!! It made me laugh and think, god that's true. Anyway, lots here worth listening to

I think she's great too. Have you heard her on PP's podcast recently and on Joe Rogan a little while ago? What I particularly like about her approach is that she very much frames it from the point of view of a new, sudden, acute mental health crisis amongst teenage girls. That's absolutely undeniable, no matter how you want to spin the figures, and it needs to be explored and better understood.

Yes! She didn't start from any kind of ideological position, just wanted someone to tell the story, and eventually realised it would have to be her. I think that gives her a lot of strength in her approach. She said to Graham her next book will be about gen z/young people in this generation and what the hell's going on with them. I think it will be a great contribution.
