Description of  Grow Up!: Life Isn't Safe, but It's Good

Arrested Development Its not your imagination. Millions of young adults today behave like children. Stuck in a permanent adolescence, they throw temper tantrums when they dont get what they want, blame everyone but themselves for their failures, and refuse to take responsibility for their lives. We used to write off their behavior as a phase. But that phase doesnt look like its ending anytime soon. And these grown children are pouring out of the glorified day care known as college and entering the corporate world full of infantile demands and expectations. A former university president, Dr. Everett Piper knows a thing or two about the ideas that motivate todays youth. Having experienced the snowflake mobs rage himself, he understands the threat that these young people pose to the rest of society. Grow Up! is his contrarian blueprint for a successful adult life. With bracing candor, Dr. Piper shares: How ideologues disguised as teachers arrested the development of entire generations The dangerous ideas in which popular culture and the education system marinate young people for years Simple lessons for becoming a thinking, mature citizen The qualities that made this country great and how to reclaim them Filled with wisdom and learning, Grow Up! is the antidote to the poison that we consume every daya powerful corrective that shows readers how to live in truth and freedom.
