Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Generational Intelligence
Simon Biggs · 2011
70/100
👍 Worth It
Biggs and Lowenstein have written a genuinely novel theoretical contribution to gerontology — the concept of 'generational intelligence' as empathy across age cohorts is timely and well-supported by their institutional case studies. This is a book for researchers and social workers, not general readers, and the weak conclusion is a real flaw in what is otherwise an intellectually serious work.
