My guest on this episode is Joyce Grant. Joyce is an award-winning children's author, a freelance journalist, an editor, and an educator. She is the author of a trio of picture books published by Fitzhenry & Whiteside, and a pair of middle-grade novels published by Lorimer. Joyce's most recent book is Can You Believe It? How to Spot Fake News and Find the Facts, published by Kids Can Press in 2022. Can you Believe it? won two Hamilton Literary Awards, in the categories of children's book and non-fiction, as well as a Press Freedom Teaching Award. The book was also nominated for Ontario Library Association's Yellow Cedar Award and the Hackmatack Children's Choice Book Award. Kirkus Reviews called Can You Believe It? “a valuable—and entertaining—guide to an important subject.” Joyce and I talk about her writing process, which she admits is a little more chaotic than she'd like, about why it took her until her sixth book to write about a subject she has been working on and teaching for decades, and about the multiple books she has on the go—including one for which she has a contract from a publisher sitting unsigned in her email inbox, a situation I believe our conversation guilted her into remedying.   Joyce Grant: joycegrantauthor.com Music: "simple-hearted thing" by Alex Lukashevsky.

Help inspire the future of With & For! Click here to take our short survey! Four respondents will get a special box of goodies from the Thrive Center!"The life review is a way of going back in a systematic way into your past and looking for things that you never understood—mysteries. And I had a big mystery in mine, which was: Who is my father?"We hang on to so much from our past. Regret, remorse, guilt, shame, rumination, unforgiveness… How should we think about our past? Can we reframe and redeem it for the present?Developmental Psychologist William Damon has spent his career studying the human lifespan and for almost 30 years at Stanford University's Center on Adolescence. Since the 1970s, he's been conducting research that has shaped our understanding of human growth and thriving.He's the author of numerous research articles and several books, including The Path to Purpose: How Young People Find Their Calling in Life, having written widely on character virtues, the moral dimensions of work and vocation, and moral formation for children and adolescents, and more.In the last 20 years, William has systematically studied purpose and how to operationalized it for human thriving. He defines purpose as “an enduring life goal that is both meaningful to oneself, but also makes a difference beyond the self.”But more recently, he's building a new area of study around life review. His latest book is A Round of Golf with My Father: The New Psychology of Exploring Your Past to Make Peace with Your Present. in it, he articulates a process that he's developed for investigating and kind of interrogating your life and your past for clues about your direction and purpose.William shares vulnerably about his own discoveries regarding mystery and his own upbringing that has shed new light on the latest chapter in his life.In this conversation with William Damon, we discuss:Positive youth development and the opportunities of childhood and adolescence.The practice of a life review, and how to look at our past in ways that lead to a healthy and fruitful future.The definition of purpose and how it plays a central role in human thriving.And he explains how charting a path to purpose took a very personal turn for him when he came to learn about the father he never knew, and how that impacted his life and his perspective on thriving at 60 years old.In that context, we discuss the emotional connections between courage and curiosity, particularly when it comes to pursuing self-understanding and exploring our sense of purpose and a life of thriving.Show NotesGet your copy of William Damon's book, A Round of Golf with My Father: The New Psychology of Exploring Your Past to Make Peace with Your PresentRead about Bill Damon's approach to Life Review at the Greater Good Science Center at UC BerkeleyStanford - Center on Adolescence “How does where you've been contribute to where you're going? How does your story shape your sense of purpose?”“I had a big mystery to uncover.”“Regret, remorse, guilt, shame, rumination, unforgiveness. How should we regard our past?”Living life on purposeDefinition of Purpose: “an enduring life goal that is both meaningful to oneself, but also makes a difference beyond the self.”Pam King introduces William Damon and summarizes the episodeStudying purpose through lifespan psychologyYoung people and their potentialWhole person, not just cognitive development.John Gardener: “What we have before us is breathtaking opportunities disguised as problems.”Peter Benson: “Everyone young person has a spark.”Positive youth developmentYouth development: Focusing on strengths and assets rather than character flaws or troubleWilliam Damon on a scientific study of purposeEnduring and long termPersonal and meaningfulTranscendent and beyond the selfAgency and energyPurpose doesn't do it all—it doesn't bring ethics or happiness“Purpose is not a silver bullet.”Purpose is not a replacement for a moral code, or a guarantee of bliss or happiness.”“Telos”—Greek for purpose or goal“Purpose is a lifespan developmental capacity.”“Purpose is never really complete.”Life Review and Robert ButlerWho we've been, who we are, and who we're becoming.Forward-looking doesn't mean you ignore the past.William Faulkner: “The past is not dead. It's not even the past.”William Damon reflects on growing up without a father“A Round of Golf with My Father”What is a life review?

So we might ask ourselves, how am I fanning that flame in others today?We don't ever have to stop learning about ourselves. And the procedure of a life review can facilitate this growth. And to learn more about the life review process, head to our website at thethrivecenter.org.It takes courage and curiosity to confront the difficult or traumatic aspects of our past. Cultivating this courage is an essential virtue of a thriving life.And finally, purpose extends beyond our personal motivations and self made goals to include a wide range of psychological, moral, relational, historical, and spiritual factorsAbout William DamonWilliam Damon is the Director of the Stanford Center on Adolescence, Professor of Education at Stanford University, and a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution.

In this episode, we're celebrating Pride Month with Alex Gino. Alex is the acclaimed author of several queer and progressive middle grade novels, including Rick, You Don't Know Everything, Jilly P!, and the newly-released Alice Austen Lived Here. Alex talks with host Suzanne McCabe about Melissa, which was originally published as George in 2015. The novel introduces young readers to a transgender girl who yearns to play the role of Charlotte in her school play. The book won a Lamda Literary Award and a Children's Choice Book Award, among many other honors. It also was the most-banned book in the United States in 2020. “As a trans person writing about another trans person, when Melissa's story is challenged, someone is saying that my existence is too scary, too deviant, too monstrous, to show to children,” Alex says. “It hurts.” Highlights: “I didn't figure out who I was until I was 19, [when] I found the word genderqueer in a book.” “I have heard so many positive, wonderful stories of people who were able to figure who they were because they saw Melissa.” “The book doesn't make someone trans, but it gives tools for talking about it.” “I love hearing from adults who say, ‘This is the book I wish I had when I was a kid.'” “A character in a book can be real in the sense [that] they have thoughts. They have beliefs. You're inside their mind in a way that you're often not inside the minds of real people. If my book can help someone respect who's in the world, that's invaluable.” “My book would not have been banned 20 years ago because my book wouldn't have existed. Something needs to exist, and something needs to be recognized in order to be challenged.” —Alex Gino, author, Melissa Special Thanks: Producer: Bridget Benjamin Associate producer: Constance Gibbs Sound engineer: Daniel Jordan Music composer: Lucas Elliot Eberl Coming Soon: Summer Reading • Aaron Blabey and The Bad Guys • Because of You, John Lewis

The greatest philosophical writings over the centuries have often examined the idea of the meaning of life. After the World War II, Viktor Frankl's writing often explored the idea of the existential vacuum, which plagued those who entered the concentration camps giving them no reason to fight for life. What we realize now is that a sense of purpose and meaning plays a vital role as it offers protection from life's undeniable hardships and discovering that purpose for oneself can be the meaningful journey in and of itself.On this episode, our guest William Damon, Ph.D., a professor and psychologist at the Stanford School of Education, says that stress isn't the biggest problem growing up today: It's meaninglessness. Tune into Sucheta's interview with Dr. Damon as they discuss how to help children build meaning beyond themselves.About William Damon, Ph.D.William Damon is Professor of Education at Stanford University, Director of the Stanford Center on Adolescence, and Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution. He is one of the world's leading researchers on the development of purpose and author of The Path to Purpose.

Damon's present work includes a study that explores the development of purpose in the college years and a study of family purposes across generations.
