Gen Z is Crossing the Threshold into Adulthood and We Need to Show Up for Them

On “failure to launch,” the developmental passage into adulthood, and what actually helps

I've just written an essay on why "failure to launch" is an AWFUL phrase to lay on Gen Z and how we can do better. isabelagranic.substack.com/p/gen-z-is-c...

I'm thrilled to share this story in the Kingstonist. They did SUCH a beautiful piece on Liminal Learning. The SWEETEST part is hearing our Pioneers (the first cohort of youth who joined us on the Quest last year) react to the piece with such pride and glee. www.kingstonist.com/news/liminal...

Excellent 1-min summary of data on the loneliness epidemic. Similar trend in N. American, Europe, the UK, the Nordic countries, & Australia. This is one of our biggest motivators at Liminal Learning: we set the conditions for young people to make lifelong friends. www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7w3...

Important report/call to action by Next In Mind focused on emerging adults' (18-29 years old) urgent need for support, care, and community. They're facing astronomical mental health problems. Yet we know at Liminal Learning that they're also at the cusp of so much opportunity. www.nextinmind.org

Visionary, timely, effective, AND based on well-known developmental principles! Youth need something else beside multiple choice and status quo if they are going to thrive and work collectively on solutions we/they desparately need over the next generation. Highly recommend. 5 stars

I'm excited (and a tad nervous) to share w/ you a special conversation I had w/ Guy Sengstock, founder of the Circling Institute. His curiosity & care kindled personal stories from me that I rarely share, but reveal core motivations for my next big project. Thoughts? www.youtube.com/watch?v=ys5r...

No other app has given me such a quality of life boost and a genuine sense of kid-like “oh wow…” than Readwise Reader. They just shipped a bunch of new features but their core experience remains what I come back to daily, with pleasure. https://readwise.io/reader/update-august2023

This is a phenomenal series, and a unique piece of emergent, collective art. A bit podcast-y, a lot like old-school letters, a bit of the PostSecret feel to it also. And you can also be a part of it yourself, just send in a little voice note answering this timeless question:

How do you balance making a living with living a meaningful life? Here's the fifth set of responses I received to that question: https://pod.fo/e/18db48

Has anyone read this? I’d love a chat with a few people re. its thesis and the implications. It’s very good, nuanced & radical re. shifting capitalist mindsets & how we work, play, make art, build useful stuff. If you’d be interested in talking w/ others, pls lmk & I’ll organize

What’s up with you all? I’ve been eating poetry and feeling so full I may not sleep tonight:

I’d love to see more poetry on my feeds. Anyone know how to find my poetry peeps on here? I’ll put out what I want to see more of in this world, poems. Here’s one I love by Rilke:

Have a listen to Part 6 in a series of interviews on the book @bryankam is working on, Neither/Nor. In this episode, ⁠⁠⁠I talk to him about the Buddhist term "papança" (sorta rumination) and how it relates to anxiety and depression and much more! https://shorturl.at/nrHZ5

Take a luxurious soak in what feels to me like a new art form. I was moved, elevated, and inspired by this "epistolary" on beauty, quality, and aesthetic enjoyment, delivered as intimate voicenotes between @bryankam.com and @joachim.bsky.social https://shorturl.at/euyQ8

Absolutly thrilled to be sharing this deeply inspiring project on collective healing. Funded by the Templeton World Charity Fdn, we’re just getting started. Come join us as we build, learn, and connect across disciplines and our varied experiences. ♥️ https://t.co/a66S20SU7p
