SJU staff, faculty, and students are invited to join us for three discussions of The Young Adult Playbook as we explore challenges and opportunities facing young people today, particularly SJU students.
The Young Adult Playbook goes where other life design books refuse to go: it asks deep questions about what constitutes a happy life. After decades of listening to their students, Anna Moreland and Thomas Smith name the underlying desires in young adults: while searching for a lucrative career, they long for meaningful work; their social media and gaming practices point to a deeper yearning for intimacy; and their leisure habits have been crushed under the productivity machine. This book helps them unlock their deepest desires. It offers practical strategies to improve habits. And it leads them to recover activities lost from childhood. The book is threaded with the real voices of young adults who have found their way out of this rough terrain. These offer much needed models of hope, providing a concrete map through unprecedented challenges.
We will discuss each section of the book with invited subject specialists:
A free ebook copy of the book can be obtained via the library. Limited physical copies are available from the Faith-Justice Institute. To obtain a copy, please contact dcritell@sju.edu.
