A short essay about how a good teacher /coach can help shape a kid's life and a look at how nowadays parents are reluctant to push their kids into the uncomfortable.

Strong, novella-length (what's the nonfiction version of a novella? a long-form essay?) examination of Lewis's high school coach and the way parental expectations of easy lives for the children impacts his career. I've become quite a fan of Lewis's work, and this encompasses so many of the qualities that make his writing so great.

UnabridgedPod There's a consideration of the state of the world, an acknowledgment of what we've lost, and a serious analysis of the reasons behind the changes. I highly recommend Coach: Lessons on the Game of Life. 5y
