Daniel T. Willingham

Praise forWhy Don?t Students Like School?

Praise for Helping College Students Find Purpose "A generous and inspiring book! In the spirit of ?convocation,? Nash and Murray call together both university faculty and student affairs professionals to provide them new means for helping more college students realize the highest purpose of higher education—that, in pursuing the means to make a living, one comes to make a meaning worth living for." — Robert Kegan , William and Miriam Meehan Professor of Adult Learning and Professional Development, Harvard University "Educators across campuses—faculty and administrators alike—will find in this book not only the importance of helping their students construct meaning upon which to base their academic and life ambitions, but also practical suggestions for doing so.

This in–depth examination of how to educate professionals for the future identifies the social and political forces that will affect the roles of professionals and change the definitions of professional skill. It shows how educating professionals for the twenty–first century will ultimately require stronger bonds between educational systems and our systems of practice––including more accurate measures of competence and a more integrated system of continuing professional education.

Joseph Heller

There was a time when reading Joseph Heller's classic satire on the murderous insanity of war was nothing less than a rite of passage. Echoes of Yossarian, the wise-ass bombardier who was too smart to die but not smart enough to find a way out of his predicament, could be heard throughout the counterculture. As a result, it's impossible not to consider Catch-22 to be something of a period piece. But 40 years on, the novel's undiminished strength is its looking-glass logic. Again and again, Heller's characters demonstrate that what is commonly held to be good, is bad; what is sensible, is nonsense.
