Jonathan Yardley of the Washington Post called Damon's book Greater Expectations " A voice of common sense ... forthwright, clearheaded and courageous.

" The book won the Parent's Choice Book Award.

Damon's most recent book, The Path to Purpose: How Young People Find Their Calling in Life, received mostly positive reviews.

The Library Journal wrote " This brilliant, involving investigation of the ' failure to launch ' phenomenon is essential reading for anyone involved in educating, counseling, and directing today's youth.

" Dawn Friedman of Greater Good magazine, Greater Good Science Center, said, " The book's important message is often lost in dense, academic language, but it still shines through real-world examples.

" Parker J. Palmer wrote, " Every thoughtful adult I know is concerned that many American youth seem to lack a sense of purpose in their lives.

Here is an important book that can help us move beyond concern to insight, public discourse, and action.

In “ The Path to Purpose: Helping Our Children Find Their Calling in Life ,” Bill Damon examines one of the most important personal and social issues of our time, and does so with a rare mix of sound data, compelling theory, practical recommendations and engaging prose.

This is a must-read for parents, teachers, civic and religious leaders, and anyone who cares about the fate of the rising generation.
