William Damon's groundbreaking study shows that about one-fifth of youth today are thriving - highly engaged in activities they love and developing a clear sense of what they want to do with their lives - but approximately one-fourth are still rudderless, at serious risk of never fulfilling their potential.

Something is very wrong with the Fitzwilliam estate. It was supposed to be a regular seance job.
