Sasse, who studied at Harvard and Oxford and later received a Ph.D. in History from Yale, also numbers among that party's most prominent intellectuals. However, he claims at the outset that The Vanishing American Adult is a nonpartisan book: he is diagnosing and attempting to solve a problem that affects both Democrats and Republicans alike, since a lack of self-reliance among young people threatens the future of the whole country. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile serving as president of Midland University in Omaha, Nebraska, Sasse encountered a population of undergraduates who were in a profound state of arrested development, unable to properly mature into adulthood because they had been coddled by helicopter parents and protected from blows to their self-esteem by school administrators. How, Sasse wondered, could these passive teens and twenty-somethings become responsible grown-ups? This book is his attempt at an answer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Start Publishing Notes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47063661871344,"sku":"9781635966800","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781635966800_p0.jpg?v=1763683547","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781635966800","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
