Par Kay S Hymowitz. 2017
Children seem to be growing up more quickly than ever before. Almost daily we hear astonishing examples of young people…
flying airplanes, running companies, or committing adult crimes. In this shrewd and compelling book, scholar and journalist Kay S. Hymowitz offers a startling explanation for today's sophisticated youngsters.

Senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and an affiliate scholar at the Institute for American Values, Kay S. Hymowitz reveals why so many of our children continue to act childishly when they grow up. 2017.Raw knowledge II: interviews with health achievers
