“I think Gary ultimately has it right. The cure for existential boredom is… a kind of liberal or “freeing” education, which simultaneously liberates us from the compulsive seeking of pleasure and achievement and shows us the beauty of contemplation.”

-Elizabeth Corey, Associate Professor of Political Science, Baylor University

“A fresh look at a problem hiding in plain sight.”

-Drew Collins, Yale Center for Faith and Culture
