"Growing up gay and with cerebral palsy made Ryan O'Connell feel out of sync with his peers. But that was nothing compared to what his twenties did to him. Part-memoir, part-manifesto. The author of the ThoughtCatalog.com/Ryan-Oconnell blog reveals what sets apart the latest generation of young people, who have come of age in an all-wired, overeducated, and underemployed world. Ryan O'Connel's articles have appeared in Thought Catalog and Vice, he has videos on YouTube, and he has established himself as a unique voice who's not afraid to dole out some real talk. Ryan spent years as a Millennial cliche: he had dead-end internships; dabbled in unemployment; worked in his pajamas as a blogger; communicated mostly via text; looked for love online; spent hundreds on "necessary" items, like candles, while claiming to have no money; and even descended into aimless pill-popping. But through extensive trial and error, Ryan eventually figured out how to take his life from bleak to chic and began limping towards adulthood. Sharp and entertaining advice on what NOT to do if you want to become a happy fully functioning grown ups with a 401k and a dog"--Provided by publisher.

American wit and humor.
