For the first time in history we are living in a society with seven different generations. Oprah and a multi-generational audience are joined by Dr. Jean Twenge who is a psychology professor at San Diego State University. She’s also the author of the definitive book on this phenomenon, Generations: The Real Differences Between Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, Boomers, and Silents―and What They Mean for America's Future. Dr. Twenge unpacks how each generation shapes our society, families, work force and dating life. From the ‘Gen Z Stare’ to work-life balance to living in a multi-generational home, Oprah and Jean are joined by other authors, content creators and members of all generations who talk about their experiences with each other and how we can continue to better understand each other.

In this episode we’re joined by Jim Morrison, the first person ever to summit and ski down the North face of Mt. Everest, a seemingly impossible feat. Oprah and Jim talk about his process of preparing for his historic ski run after previously attempting the climb twice before. Jim also reflects on the unbelievable tragedies in his life and how he managed his grief. Jim lost his wife and children in a plane crash in 2011, then his partner and fellow famed mountain skier, Hilaree Nelson, died in 2022 in an avalanche right in front of Jim. Academy Award winning filmmaker Jimmy Chin joins the conversation to give his perspective on how he and their film crew prepared to record this extraordinary accomplishment for a new documentary, “Everest, The Other Side.”
