Gen X-Iety

The push and pull of society can and will try and shape us, to maintain the social glue that keeps us together - yet who are we, the individuals, in all of this struggle?

The push and pull of society can and will try and shape us, to maintain the social glue that keeps us together - yet who are we, the individuals, in all of this struggle? Who are you away from the tribe of Generation X, a generation still influenced by following tradition and social conformity, yet experiencing mental and emotional challenges at an unprecedented level? Melanie Harris left friends, family, home and work behind in New Zealand, travelling most of the 5-month journey alone. The result is Gen X-iety, a manual for Generation X wanting less stress, more clarity and empowered choice. So much more than going out of your comfort zone, Melanie challenges you to question everything you think you are, in context to an individual, rather than a product of social construction. Gen Xiety solidifies her theory that so many of our major decisions and major life changes are approached from external influences and social affirmation, which are not necessarily the best choices for ourselves. The results can be lack of self-love, depression and anxiety yet Melanie shines a fresh light on solutions that Generation X will benefit from. Join Melanie as she deconstructs beliefs and theories we thought were our own personal, unique identity, but may actually be society's by-products. She brings clarity through her journey of grief and self-reliance, to show you how everything must be addressed initially by the self alone, for that is where the strength, courage and empowerment is to be authentic.
