Other topics discussed include the central role of purpose in supporting optimal well-being and positive youth development.  The book closes with empirically-supported steps adults, educators, and mentors can take to effectively and intentionally foster purpose among young people and makes recommendations for future research on the topic. 606 $aPositive psychology 606 $aQuality of life 606 $aEducational psychology 606 $aEducation?Psychology 606 $aDevelopmental psychology 606 $aPositive Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y44000 606 $aQuality of Life Research$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X23000 606 $aEducational Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O39000 606 $aDevelopmental Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20010 615 0$aPositive psychology. 615 0$aQuality of life. 615 0$aEducational psychology. 615 0$aEducation?Psychology. 615 0$aDevelopmental psychology. 615 14$aPositive Psychology. 615 24$aQuality of Life Research. 615 24$aEducational Psychology. 615 24$aDevelopmental Psychology. 676 $a150.1988 700 $aCotton Bronk$b Kendall$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0942308 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298081803321 996 $aPurpose in Life$92126364 997 $aUNINA
