talkin' 'bout me and my generation

The Baby Boomers were the first generation to unite globally through music, culture, and action, challenging both personal and political power structures. Growing up in a post-war world, yet living under the constant threat of the Cold War and the increasing horror of the Vietnam War, they became the voice of protest. They were loud, they were visible, and they weren’t prepared to remain passive. They channeled their energy and passion into making significant changes, leaving a lasting impact on the world.

In talkin' 'bout me and my generation, activist, creative entrepreneur, and counsellor Robin Woodsford delves deep into the heart of the Baby Boomer generation, offering a poignant reflection on a transformative era. Through his own personal journey, Woodsford discovers that his story resonates universally with those who grew up in the Sixties and Seventies. This book is not just a memoir, but a call to action. Woodsford urges his fellow Baby Boomers to reconnect with the fervour of their youth, to remember the ideals they fought for, and to recognize that their job is far from complete.

As the author explores the highs and lows of a generation that drove social change, he questions what happened to the revolutionary spirit that once defined them. Were they merely a bunch of idealistic hippies, or did their activism pave the way for substantive change? Woodsford posits that the energy and enthusiasm that once defined the Baby Boomers can and should be rekindled. He challenges them to revisit their activist roots and join their grandchildren in combating the pressing threat of climate change.

talkin' 'bout me and my generation is a heartfelt and impassioned plea that transcends personal narrative, aiming to inspire an entire generation to leave a meaningful legacy. It’s a reminder that the fight for a better world is perpetual and that the wisdom of experience can be a powerful tool in facing contemporary issues.

Robin Woodsford’s insights make this book a must-read for anyone interested in social history, activism, and the enduring impact of generational movements. Through his candid reflections, readers are encouraged to not only look back at how far they have come but to also consider how much further they can go in shaping the future.
