Publisher's Synopsis
Former university president Dr. Everett Piper--author of the book Not a Day Care--speaks simple truths directly to college students in Adulting. A simple glance at the daily news proves we now stand on the cliffs of a cultural crisis where vitriol has replaced virtue as a predicate for public service; where character no longer matters; a time where our elected leaders act more like spoiled children than mature adults. This is a time of hedonism and hypocrisy; a time of victimization and vengeance; a time of vice and violence; a time where we would rather be a safe people than a good people. The infantilization of the political debate, the ad hominem attacks, the silencing of dissent, and the consequent arrogance and anger we see in our streets and even in our senate will only worsen between now and the 2020 election season.
With Adulting, Dr. Piper shows young people entering the world that clinging to childishness will only speed the world's demise. Life isn't always fair or fun--but maturity rises to challenges. With great care and elegance, Adulting shows new generations of adults how to be the kind of leaders the world needs.
