Purposeful Youth: Is it asking too much?(Book review)
The Path to Purpose: Helping Our Children Find Their Calling in Life.
By William Damon
Free Press, 2008, $25.00; 217 pages.
As reviewed by Nathan Glazer
William Damon, a distinguished psychologist and the director of the Stanford Center on Adolescence, has long been interested, along with Howard Gardner and Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, in the study of those who succeed, who do "good work" (the title of one of his books, coauthored with Gardner and Csikszentmihalyi), who care {Some Do Care, the title of another), and who manage to live fulfilled lives. The "purposeful" among us seem not to include much of today's youth.
