Synopsis
America's leading expert on adolescence offers his prescription for instilling a sense of purpose and fulfillment in today's youth. Drawing on the revelatory results of a landmark study, William Damon--one of the country's leading writers on the lives of young people, whose book Greater Expectations won the Parents' Choice Award--brilliantly investigates the most pressing issue in the lives of youth today: why so many young people are "failing to launch"--living at home longer, lacking career motivation, struggling to make a timely transition into adulthood, and not yet finding a life pursuit that inspires them. His groundbreaking study shows that about one-fifth of youth today are thriving--highly engaged in activities they love and developing a clear sense of what they want to do with their lives--but approximately one-fourth are still rudderless, at serious risk of never fulfilling their potential. The largest portion are teetering on the brink, in need of guidance to help them move forward: some are "dabblers" who pursue strings of disconnected interests with no real commitment; others, "dreamers" who have no realistic plans or understanding of what success will require. What makes the difference? Damon shows that the key ingredient for the highly engaged is that they have developed a clear sense of purpose in their lives that motivates them and gives them direction. Based on in-depth interviews, he takes readers inside the minds of the disengaged and drifting kids and exposes their confusion and anxiety about what they should do with their lives. He then offers compelling portraits of the young people who are thriving and identifies the nine key factors that have made the difference for them, presenting simple but powerful methods that parents and all adults can and must employ in order to cultivate that energized sense of purpose in young people that will launch them on the path to a deeply satisfying and productive life., Drawing on the revelatory results of a landmark study, William Damon -- one of the country's leading writers on the lives of young people, whose book Greater Expectations won the Parents' Choice Award -- brilliantly investigates the most pressing issue in the lives of youth today: why so many young people are "failing to launch" -- living at home longer, lacking career motivation, struggling to make a timely transition into adulthood, and not yet finding a life pursuit that inspires them.

- 2***0 (130)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufShipping was quick, packaging was excellent, condition was acceptable as described -- binding loose but pages intact. I did message buyer asking about mold and didn't receive a reply -- luckily, there appears to be no mold. Great value for a 100+ yr old book!Mistress of Shenstone by Florence L. Barclay HC 1910 (Nr. 335940140985)
- a***p (8)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letztes JahrBestätigter KaufI received my book in absolutely pristine condition, better than described! Which is impressive because the copy is from 1930 and it looks like it has never been handled. It shipped very quickly, even faster than the estimated time given by a week. It was packaged very carefully. The book and shipping price was also very fair considering the age and condition of the book and the shipping speed. I am very pleased with this seller and will be ordering from them again in the future.All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque HC 1930 (Nr. 396258036329)
- b***w (115)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufOutstanding seller! Excellent communication. The item was exactly as described, mailed promptly, and packaged securely.Mission Impossible #4: Code Name Little Ivan by John Tiger, 1969 SC (Nr. 336040405753)
