Synopsis

Contemporary times have seen a growing malaise affecting our youth: Gang membership has grown 40% in 3 years, suicide is up 89% in 12-14 year-old children in the last two decades, anti-depressant use in children is up over 400%, and 40% of all children are born outside of marriage. Bullying, cutting, anorexia, and antisocial personality disorders are all on the rise. Running on Empty--Transcending the Economic Culture's Seduction of Our Youth presents a powerful case for the cause behind these destructive trends, and offers a hopeful and unique paradigm to help youth transcend their deepening pain. Through blending ancient wisdom with contemporary psychological and educational insights, this book offers a comprehensive path for transformation that can end youth's suffering and reverse the downward -spiraling trends.
