- The document discusses Generation Y, known as millennials or yuppies, who were born between the late 1970s and mid 1990s. This generation, including Lucy, was raised with a sense of optimism and possibility about their careers. - Lucy's parents' generation envisioned stable, prosperous careers achieved through hard work and envisioned their career path as a "green lawn of secure prosperity." However, Lucy and her peers want fulfilling careers and envision their paths more like flowery lawns. - Additionally, each individual yuppie like Lucy thinks they are destined for something even more exceptional than just a fulfilling career, likening it to "a shiny unicorn on top of the flowery lawn."

2. Why Generation Y Yuppies Are Unhappy
WAIT BUT WHY
• Lucy is part of Generation Y, the generation born between the late 1970s and
the mid 1990s. She’s also part of a yuppie culture that makes up a large
portion of Gen Y.
• Lucy’s parents were brought up to envision a prosperous and stable career for
themselves. Something like this:
They were taught that there was nothing stopping them from getting to that lush,
green lawn of a career, but that they’d need to put in years of hard work to make
it happen.
• Lucy’s parents raised Lucy with a sense of optimism and unbounded
possibility. This left Lucy feeling tremendously hopeful about her careers, to
the point where their parents’ goals of a green lawn of secure prosperity
didn’t really do it for them. A GYPSY-worthy lawn has flowers.
To be clear, GYPSYs want economic prosperity just like their
parents did—they just also want to be fulfilled by their career
in a way their parents didn’t think about as much

3. • “Sure,” Lucy has been taught, “everyone will go and get themselves some fulfilling
career, but I am unusually wonderful and as such, my career and life path will
stand out amongst the crowd.” So on top of the generation as a whole having the
bold goal of a flowery career lawn, each individual GYPSY thinks that he or she is
destined for something even better—
A shiny unicorn on top of the flowery lawn.
Here’s my advice for Lucy:
1) Stay wildly ambitious.
2) Stop thinking that you’re special.
3) Ignore everyone else.
