Why Gen Z Can’t Handle the Real World (and How We Can Help Them) | Jennifer Cohen : 1266

Why Gen Z Can’t Handle the Real World (and How We Can Help Them) | Jennifer Cohen : 1266

You think you’re helping your kid. You clear the path. You smooth the bumps. You make sure they never feel too sad, too bored, too uncomfortable.


It feels like love.


But what if it’s making them weak?


In this episode, Dave Asprey sits down with bestselling author, TED speaker, and resilience expert Jennifer Cohen to reveal how today’s parenting norms are quietly producing the most anxious, dependent, and emotionally fragile generation in history—Gen Z.

Whether you’re raising kids, managing young employees, or trying to understand the next generation—you’ll walk away from this episode with a new lens on resilience, responsibility, and real-world readiness.


What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why Gen Z struggles with anxiety, confidence, and failure

• How smartphones, safe spaces, and overparenting weaken resilience

• The science behind boredom, chores, and grit-building discomfort

• Why participation trophies are doing real psychological harm

• The bold parenting shifts that build strong, adaptable adults

• How to model strength—even when it’s unpopular

• The simple framework to raise kids who can thrive, not just survive


If you want to raise strong kids—or work with a generation that’s struggling—this episode is a must-listen. It’s not just about parenting. It’s about the future. And it starts with getting uncomfortable.
