Description: Raised by well-meaning but overprotective parents and coddled by well-meaning but misbegotten government programs, America's youth are ill-equipped to survive in our highly-competitive global economy. In The Vanishing American Adult, Senator Ben Sasse explores ideas and ways to raise resilient, responsible children. He identifies core formative experiences that all young people should pursue: hard work to appreciate the benefits of labor, travel to understand deprivation and want, the power of reading, the importance of nurturing your body - and explains how parents can encourage them. Our democracy depends on responsible, contributing adults to function properly; without them America falls prey to populist demagogues. A call to arms, The Vanishing American Adult will ignite a Vanishing American Adult: Our Coming-of-Age Crisis--and How to Rebuild a Culture Raised by well-meaning but overprotective parents and coddled by well-meaning but misbegotten government programs, America's youth are ill-equipped to survive in our highly-competitive global economy.
