A Conversation about Higher Education and Finding Purpose with Parent Compass and Guest, Bill Deresiewicz

With refreshing honesty and candidness, Bill examines a broken higher education system and how it can be remedied. He calls on students to approach their college years with curiosity and a desire to learn for the sake of learning rather than following a path that ultimately leaves them unfulfilled.

Bill Deresiewicz is the New York Times Best-Selling Author of Excellent Sheep: The Miseducation of the American Elite and the Way to a Meaningful Life. He is also the author of the new book The Death of an Artist: How Creators Are Struggling to Survive in the Age of Billionaires and Big Tech. He is an award-winning essayist and critic, a frequent speaker at colleges, high schools, and other venues, and has published more than 250 essays and reviews. Bill taught English at Yale and Columbia before becoming a full-time writer in 2008.
