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. \u003cbr\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.","brand":"Start Publishing Notes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47171043328240,"sku":"9781635966817","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781635966817_p0.jpg?v=1763684737","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781635966817","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
