The Hidden Psychology of Gen X 60s Babies

📖 Get the book - Psychology of Gen X: https://gettrack.link/r/PsychologyofGenX The Hidden Psychology of Gen X 60s Babies If you were born between 1965 and 1969, your childhood wasn't defined by headlines. It was defined by banana seat bikes, Saturday morning cartoons, quarter-fed arcades, and a screen door that slammed behind you every morning. Frank breaks down what life actually looked like for the earliest Gen Xers — the places, the friendships, the toys, and the ordinary moments that built you before you had a name for any of it.
