The Vanishing American Adult is a 2017 book by United States Senator Ben Sasse published by St. Martin's Press.[1]
In the book, Sasse describes Americans as “a drifting and aimless people — awash in material goods and yet spiritually aching for meaning.” He calls on parents to take control of their children's education and argues that children need to learn to work hard, resist consumerism, read widely, and live for a while in a place different from their home, although it need not be far from home.[2][3]
