Living Well, Living Wisely provides young people with the opportunity to develop deeper insight into how to live well and responsibly as they approach adulthood. It’s designed to be used by skilled teachers who can engage in reflective conversation with secondary school or college students. Teachers and parents will also find its contents valuable for providing support and guidance to the young people in their care.

The hearts and minds of the young openly search for meaning, hope and purpose. Idealism is hungry for expression but only too often lacks depth of understanding. Experience teaches that unless we provide young people with the opportunity to discover a deeper wisdom, we leave them bereft and confused.

The global challenges which lie ahead will require our young to be equipped with clarity, fortitude, and love so that they can learn what it truly means to flourish in a spirit of unity. A life which is inspired by love and service finds fulfilment; it is time to liberate the attention of our young from ‘me’ to ‘we’.

Intended to be delivered through attentive reading, reflective questioning, and conversation, Living Well, Living Wisely aims to serve the needs of young people and those who guide them.
