The Path to Purpose: How Young People Find Their Calling in LifeDrawing on the revelatory results of a landmark study, William Damon one of the country's leading writers on the lives of young people, whose book Greater Expectations won the Parents' Choice Award brilliantly investigates the most pressing issue in the lives of youth today: why so many young people are failing to launch living at home longer, lacking career motivation, struggling to make a timely transition into adulthood, and not yet finding a life
Drawing on the revelatory results of a landmark study, William Damon -- one of the country's leading writers on the lives of young people, whose book Greater Expectations won the Parents' Choice Award -- brilliantly investigates the most pressing issue in the lives of youth today: why so many young people are failing to launch -- living at home longer, lacking career motivation, struggling to make a timely transition into adulthood, and not yet finding a life pursuit that inspires them. His groundbreaking study shows that about one-fifth of youth today are thriving -- highly engaged in activities they love and developing a clear sense of what they want to do with their lives -- but approximately one-fourth are still rudderless, at serious risk of never fulfilling their potential. The largest portion are teetering on the brink, in need of guidance to help them move forward: some are dabblers who pursue strings of disconnected interests with no real commitment; others, dreamers who have no realistic plans or understanding of what success will require. What makes the difference? Damon shows that the key ingredient for the highly engaged is that they have developed a clear sense of purpose in their lives that motivates them and gives them direction. Based on in-depth interviews, he takes readers inside the minds of the disengaged and drifting kids and exposes their confusion and anxiety about what they should do with their lives. He then offers compelling portraits of the young people who are thriving and identifies the nine key factors that have made the difference for them, presenting simple but powerful methods that parents and all adults can and must employ in order to cultivate that energized sense of purpose in young people that will launch them on the path to a deeply satisfying and productive life.Binding Type: Paperback

The Ad got me, the reality didn't
Style: Variety Pack - Large (3-pack)
Directly from the ad- "Exclusive Noisemakers - Each large toy includes 3 high-quality round squeakers to deliver more sound to keep your best friend entertained.". Now my neighbor bought this squirrel with three high-quality squeakers nearly a year ago. It's ragged and tattered I just recently sewed it up for him where he chewed the one leg odd, but those three noise makers are still squeaking. Whe I got my pup, I immediately went to buy one and they were no longer selling them, so I've been on a search for one or an equivalent. These are not.
There's no stuffing to get all over the place when your pup breaks into it, a plus. However the squeakers weren't particularly loud and were silenced in a few hours. Two were dead and the remaining one was very well on its way. The toy itself was pretty much intact but that had more to do with the lack of attention from the dog than how rugged the toy is. He'll pick it up once in a while but it certainly didn't meet my expectations.
The good thing is that there are three of them so I can give him some brief excitement in the future. Wouldn't buy again.

Strong Chewer Friendly Toy
Style: Variety Pack - Large (3-pack)
My dog is a rough chewer and these last a really long time (clearly since this beaver's face is long gone! The no stuffing is a win too for cleaning up afterwards.

More Durable Than Most
My puppy likes this. He ripped up the stuffing pretty quickly but the rope innards are strong. Both a tug toy and chew. I would prefer it unstuffed so 4 ⭐️ instead of 5.

My dogs favorite toy
Color: Ropiez Dragon
The dragon is pretty durable but I will say my dog chews off the horn the first chance she gets. There is no stuffing except for the horn. Holds up well in a tug of war and play. For an average to moderate aggressive dog it hold up for awhile. It’s not indestructible it will tear.
