  • Perfectly Narcissistic (3-7-2011)

     

    PODCAST SCRIPT:

    It was once held that duty, responsibility and service are more important than personal needs and wants. Not anymore.

    Teenagers today were taught from an early age — by their school, by the media, and even by their Baby Boomer parents — to follow their dreams and pursue happiness above all else.  Their own happiness and being true to themselves became paramount, not duty, responsibility, character, personal sacrifice or service to others.

    What’s come out of it is that we’ve created a perfectly narcissistic generation. They have very high self-esteem, and they get everything they want, so you’d think they would be happy and content, but study after study shows that they are more confused, depressed, anxious and unhappy than ever.
