Book Review: Helping College Students Find Purpose

Nash, Robert & Michele Murray.  2010.  Helping College Students Find Purpose.  San Francisco:  Jossey-Bass.  320 pages.

This book examines the quarterlife generation—the transition between late teens into one’s early thirties—and how the seek meaning and purpose.  The book seeks to develop a rationale for faculty and administrators to see themselves as mentors of meaning-making, and to provide the tools for this to be a successful endeavor, both inside and outside of the classroom.
