About Grant Manhart
My primary passion is helping young people reach adulthood, and prepare them for lives of bounty, stability of character and peace, in the face of the disruptions of the information age. I find they often hold erroneous expectations and ideas about their life trajectories. This appears to be in part due to the bewildering messages embedded in their omnipresent media, which exists both in reality, and in their minds. I present them with tools they can use to accurately evaluate their thinking, opportunities and abilities against the infinite opportunities presented. I am finding they have never needed mature guidance more, and are actually crying out for it.Looking to be ever more effective, and constantly packaging the above in ever more useable formats to elevate and energize young minds.
