"Many children grow up hearing the message that systemic forces control their destinies or that they are at fault for everything that has gone wrong in their lives. These children are dispirited into cycles of learned helplessness rather than inspired to pursue their own possibilities. Rowe describes four pillars that can uplift every young person as they make the passage into adulthood: Family, Religion, Education, and Entrepreneurship. With this FREE framework in place, children are empowered to develop agency-- the force of one's free will, guided by moral discernment." -- Adapted from jacket.
