Warmke Brandon - Why It's Ok To Mind Your Own Business - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Every year millions of students in the United States and around the world graduate from high school and college. Commencement speakers often distilling the hopes of parents and four years of messaging from educators tell graduates that they must do something grand ambitious or far - reaching. Change the world. Disrupt the status quo. Every problem in the world is your problem awaiting your solutions. This book is an antidote to that advice. It provides a clear - eyed assessment of three types of people who tend to believe and promote a commencement speaker's view of the world: the moralizer who imposes unnecessary social costs by inappropriately enforcing morality; the busybody who thinks the stranger and close friend merit equal shares of our benevolent attention; and the pure hearted who equates acting with good intentions with just outcomes. The book also provides a bold defense of living an ordinary life by putting down roots creating a good home and living in solitude. A quiet peaceful life can be generous and noble. It's OK to mind your own business.
