Millennials often feel lost, and for good reason. To make navigating the world of information overload a little easier, we've selected the best books for millennials, books they'll relate to and will no doubt find solutions and inspiration in.
The millennial generation is in many ways specific and coincidentally placed to the intersection of the pre-internet era and the complete digitization of all spheres of life. They spent some key life periods at a time when the whole world was changing - both financially and ideologically, almost all established norms disappeared. "Freelancing", social media, pop culture, countless options, the world in the palm of your hand - all this has characterized this generation, which for a reason feels lost in a huge information overload.
Books about millennials and books written for millennials are the kind of reading that gives us an insider's view that is easy to find in the words of the characters and in the situations. They are here the best books for millennials, as well as about millennials – from fiction that you must read at least once in your life, to non-fiction books that can have a significant impact on your life.

Broke Millennial right now one of the most popular money management books for millennials. Its simple language and approach to complex topics made it a real bestseller. It is ideal for all those who are just starting to live alone and work, who want to take out small loans or buy their first house.

As with Sally Rooney's books, you will often come across recommendations for Tara Westover's books, especially Educated. Today, the 34-year-old scientist in the book describes his life journey - from growing up in a Mormon family, without access to knowledge and information about the world (to the point where she didn't know what the Holocaust was), to finally resisting her father's pressure when she went to college and realized her dreams.

This is the book that started it a new wave of feminism in South Korea! However, in addition to the feminist level, it is also interesting from the point of view of "older" millennials, especially women who have to "realize" themselves in the role of mother, wife and in other socially conditioned tasks.

Essentialism
Greg McKeown

Greg McKeown's book should be intended for all those who feel that they are constantly busy but never productive – a feeling many millennials know all too well. The author of Essentialism, who has worked in almost all of the most powerful (and stressful) positions in Silicon Valley, teaches us what essentialism is and how to be more selective about what we will do someday, whether we want to do it at all, and how to approach it.

In her novel My Year of Rest and Relaxation, Tessa Moshfegh delivers anything but the typical story from the point of view of an unnamed woman. We know that she is young, beautiful, but at the same time given to laziness. After the tragedy, an idea came to her: she would go into hibernation for a whole year with the help of a cocktail of pills. This is where the funny, witty, but also begins a painful examination of one's own existence.
