Millennial self-knowledge – Books and Literature

Review of the book “Millennial self-knowledge”, by Diani Elías

It is known as generation millennial to people born between 1982 and 1994. For this generation, technology is part of their daily lives. They are what we call “digital natives”. I am convinced that many of those who read this review belong to this generation (me among them) and that they also believe they know its characteristics very well. However, not many know that, although the millennial It is one of the most prepared generations, it is also one of the loneliest and lacks adequate emotional management.

For this reason, the integrative psychologist-psychotherapist Diani Elías has written a tool that, although it is aimed at this generation, can be of great help to everyone, since millennial self-knowledgeedited by Books and Literatureis a very necessary book to understand ourselves better and help us grow.

In this way, the author warns us from the beginning that this is not a self-help book that will give you the key to being happy, no; This book will help you learn to accept and manage emotions, not to classify them as good or bad, but as part of our life. It is very interesting to understand the nuance that the author emphasizes, since a self-help book is not the same as a self-knowledge book and it is something that you will understand better after reading it.

To achieve this self-knowledge, the author is based on the pillars or fundamental areas of our life to which we dedicate the most time, these are: The Self (our center, our personality, our abilities and talents, our pains and also passions, our past, present and future), health, family, partner (or the desire to have a relationship) and work (or studies).

If one of them becomes unbalanced, that is when worries and crises come into play. That is why it is essential to have the right tools to restore that balance and be able to thrive. Diani Elías shares in these pages a series of very valuable tools and techniques that will help us balance our parts and achieve that control so necessary to feel good and at peace.

Addressing topics and concepts as essential as loneliness, letting go, social networks, health, emotional management, relationships, emotional dependency, the role of family or work, Diani offers us those necessary tools from which Sometimes we lack the ability to face our daily lives, while at the same time it delves into these topics and proposes exercises that will help us improve and, of course, to know and understand each other.

How I thought of them, millennial self-knowledge It is an essential book not only for this generation that is so prepared and lonely at the same time, but for anyone seeking to understand themselves better and grow. So be millennial or not, surely you are also looking to find yourself and carry out correct personal growth. In your hands you have the right tool, a very valuable book that will help you manage your emotions.
