Good Influence: Teaching the Wisdom of Adulthood

Through reflections and analyses of his own experiences over many years in supporting young peoples’ adult development, Daniel R. Heischman provides insights into the dynamics of adult interactions and roles with young people and offers guidance to the significant adults in young peoples’ lives for assisting them to effectively influence young peoples’ search for meaning and purpose.
