Trivial Grievances is an oddly optimistic, witty and insightful generation-defining audiobook for a lost generation, the miserable Millennials, from Bridie Jabour, opinion editor at Guardian Australia.

In the last days of 2019, journalist Bridie Jabour wrote a piece for The Guardian about the malaise of 31-year-old millennials and how the painful, protracted end of their adolescence is finally hitting home, they're hitting their 30s and the vast majority are neither famous, award-winning or rich – and that's making them miserable. The article went viral overnight, the response from readers was overwhelming, and Bridie decided the time had come to write a book about her generation – those much-maligned millennials. After all, she reasoned, this generation is coming of age in a fairly unique set of social and economic circumstances, including precarious work, delayed baby-making, rising singledom, a pandemic, a heating planet, loss of religion and increased unstable housing. But much to her surprise, despite her assumption that this generation of 31-year-olds is the most miserable ever, she discovered that wasn't the whole truth ... Forthright, funny, incisive, provocative and insightful, Trivial Grievances is truly a book for our times and for every 20- or 30-something anxious about their place in the world.
