Most American young people, like their ancestors, seek a life of meaning and purpose but are increasingly confused about what that entails in today's world. With a culture that once provided clear guidance now faltering, the youth find themselves adrift in areas such as work, family, religion, and civic identity. The ideals of truth, goodness, and beauty lack defenders, while cynicism undermines any genuine pursuit of wisdom or patriotism. Although we excel in efficiency and convenience, we struggle to understand their ultimate purpose. However, the decline of old orthodoxies presents unique opportunities for renewal and growth. The timeless question of "How to live?" is gaining renewed attention. If freed from cynicism, young Americans are eager to explore profound questions and embark on meaningful quests for a fulfilling life. This book offers essential encouragement by highlighting vital aspects of a worthy life and defending them against contemporary challenges. With chapters on love, family, friendship, human dignity, and the aspirations of Western civilization, it serves both secular and religious readers seeking meaning or wishing to deepen their understanding in today's context.
