An oddly optimistic， witty and insightful generation-defining book for a lost generation， the miserable Millennials， from Bridie Jabour， opinion editor at Guardian Australia



In the last days of 2019， journalist Bridie Jabour wrote a piece for The Guardian about the malaise of 31 year-old millennials and how the painful， protracted end of their adolescence is finally hitting home; they're hitting their thirties and the vast majority are neither famous， award-winning or rich -and that's making them miserable。

The article went viral overnight， the response from readers was overwhelming， and Bridie decided the time had come to write a book about her generation - those much-maligned millenials。 After all， she reasoned， this generation is coming of age in a fairly unique set of social and economic circumstances， including precarious work， delayed baby-making， rising singledom， a pandemic， a heating planet， loss of religion and increased unstable housing。 But much to her surprise， despite her assumption that this generation of 31-year-olds is the most miserable ever， she discovered that wasn't the whole truth。。。

Forthright， incisive， provocative and insightful， Trivial Grievances is truly a book for our times， and for every twenty or thirty-something anxious about their place in the world。
