Hard to Get is a powerful and intimate examination of the sex and love lives of the most liberated women in history—twenty-something American women who have had more opportunities, more positive role models, and more information than any previous generation. Drawing from her years of experience as a researcher and a psychotherapist, Leslie C. Bell takes us directly into the lives of young women who struggle to negotiate the complexities of sexual desire and pleasure, and to make sense of their historically unique but contradictory constellation of opportunities and challenges. In candid interviews, Bell's subjects reveal that, despite having more choices than ever, they face great uncertainty about desire, sexuality, and relationships. Ground-breaking and highly readable, Hard to Get offers fascinating insights into the many ways that sex, love, and satisfying relationships prove surprisingly elusive to these young women as they navigate the new emotional landscape of the 21st century.

The hypothesis that higher educated twenty-somethings experience more choice overload than lower educated twenty-somethings was tested. 146 participants, either in university or in community college, filled in questionnaires asserting their levels of choice overload. As expected, higher educated (WO) twenty-somethings reported more choice overload than lower (MBO) educated twenty-somethings. Correlations were also found between choice overload and peer-pressure, student 's housing situation and whether or not students regarded themselves as adults. It was concluded that higher educated twenty-somethings indeed experience more choice overload compared to lower educated twenty-somethings.

One of the things [Alexandra Levit] emphasizes is the importance of crafting a corporate persona. While that has connotations of fakeness, that's not what she means. You can still be yourself, just a more mature, professional, competent version of yourself, she says. \"It doesn't matter what type of person you are in real life, just think of yourself as an actor playing a role while you are at work. So what if you play drinking games on Friday nights or prefer a book to human company,\" she writes. \"Many older -- but not necessarily wiser -- managers have no qualms about piling it on and watching an eager-to-please twenty- something scramble like a rat in a maze,\" Levit writes. Entry-level staffers frequently find themselves on the receiving end of an impossible number of requests from all over the company. My favorite part of the book is the Office Lingo Decoder. As Levit points out, \"The business world's language is one of subtlety, filled with euphemisms and pet phrases that cleverly disguise what people actually mean.\"

  Because of Gen Y, we have: *More creative, technically advanced websites (50% of retailers redesigned their sites last year). *A wide availability of online customer reviews (Gen Y writes half of them). *A faster stream of product introductions (Gen Y gets bored fast). *Bigger, more comfortable dressing rooms (Gen Yers like to bring in friends to review outfits).
