Young, Wired, and not Woke: How the Youth of Today are Redefining Success, Love and Self | A Gen Z Guide to Breaking Free from Clutter and Finding Real Purpose
What happens when a generation raised on reels, told to hustle, and taught to be "woke" starts asking-why?
Young, Wired, and Not Woke is not your average self-help book, TED Talk, or borrowed-from-the-West advice manual.
It's a mirror held up to young India – funny, fearless, and unfiltered.
From mental health in the land of meditation, to gender identity in the birthplace of Ardhanarishvara, to social media that's more addictive than vaping, Rishabh dives deep into the issues Gen Z and Gen Alpha face today. With sharp insight, cultural context, and just the right amount of sarcasm, he unpacks topics that are often whispered about, scrolled past, or shouted over.
This is a conversation about the mind, meaning, money, morality, and everything in between. It's about stepping out of your echo chamber, questioning what the algorithm feeds you, and reclaiming your ability to think for yourself.
If you're young, raising someone young, or just tired of recycled opinions, this book is for you. Because in a world of filters and fast takes, sometimes the real rebellion... is reflection.

This is an incisive and engaging book that talks about how today's digital world shapes the minds, habits, and identities of young people.
The author explores online culture, social media behavior, cancel culture, and the pressures that come with constantly being connected, all through a clear and relatable lens.
This book offers a blend of research, real examples, humor, and honest questions, making complex topics easy to understand. It doesn't preach, but rather it gets you thinking about how the internet affects values, opinions, and self-esteem.
Overall, this is an informative, relevant, and conversation-starting book, especially for those interested in how today's youth deal with technology, information overload, and changing social dynamics.

I like some things about this book — especially the concepts that it covers are important ones that need to be highlighted. But my biggest vice for this book is the way it’s written. The writing style seems more like a blog post written by a teenager. In that way, this could have been better conveyed through a youtube video. I understand that authentic voice retention is important, but I also feel that considering there aren’t enough books that highlight the issues mentioned in this one, there should have been a little more focus on the tone of writing to enable appropriate impact.
