Tripping Balls - no doubt!Now for the ugly truth . . .Okay, let me begin by addressing the negatives BEFORE I get to the positives - of which surprisingly and delightfully, there are more than a few.Bookmark!First - there is no table of contents, which is a real bummer because there are sections you Will Find you'd like to revisit - so bookmark them as you come to them, unless you want to spend countless hours searching through data.Bookmark!Language & Situations - yes, there is some of that, but it is contextually correct [not just blatant attitude] because The Existential Millennial Crisis by Paul HuHn is written by a young man [who uses a young man's situations and language to deliver his message], but in doing so redeems himself thru the information he provides. I might add that HuHn does so extremely well - and he always has a point to deliver - so don't abandon ship just yet! [If you're over 30, after you read his views on `Millennials and Boomers' you might be tempted to [I'll get to that later], but again I urge you to hang-tight and stay on board. However, this might be a good time to put on your life jacket - just in case.Bookmark!The Existential Millennial Crisis by Paul HuHn may be written for the TDLR generation - [the same of which will definitely benefit from it due to their `electronically fluoride induced short attention spans' AGGRAVATED BY `generational politically stimulated media induced propaganda' gap], it is a book for everyone, and it won't beat you to death with a lot of meaningless, superfluous words. It's a straightforward - get to the point `dive into a pit of snakes and take your chances' read.Bookmark!Thank god for Huhn's `swallowing copious amounts of air' - otherwise this book would doubtfully have been written, and we would have been deprived this colorful and rare existential insight into everything BUT the kitchen sink. And despite HuHn's [and his generations thoughts and views on `Old Farts'] I will say this - Hindsight is 20/20 and easily observed through a microscope - to which your generation hasn't yet progressed, BUT IT WILL - and it will be interesting to see how `future generations' judge YOUR time on Earth! And when `your judges' time to be judged comes - hopefully, as a species, we will have evolved and learned that when it comes to push and shove, when the final analysis is in, and the `fat lady' has indeed sung - we've all done our best with the hands we were dealt! It is a dream I have. Sadly, every generation thinks theirs is `the one', but none ever is! Not because we don't `bust our balls' trying [only to be ridiculed], but because of forces beyond our control that set us up [from our first breath] - to fail!Bookmark!TDLR or Boomer - if you give The Existential Millennial Crisis by Paul HuHn a chance - you will love it! The writing is clear and concise, and I look forward to more from this author who has a definite point of view to share. You may not agree with his views [it's not required], but his compilation of thoughts and views WILL give you insight and make you think, and Laugh - even in the face of insult.That being said - it still gets 4 stars for no table of contents and improper formatting.Bookmark!I'm so glad you lived - you have much more than this `first' book to give, and I, for one, cant wait to share your journey. Well done!Buy it and - Read it!
