Success: More Than Your Resume: Volume 5 (VeriTalks) - Softcover

VeriTalks Volume 5, Success, is adapted from The 2013 Veritas Forum at Cornell. In it, economists Charles Lee (Stanford) and Robert Frank (Cornell) discuss whether there is more to success than a burnished resume. From Christian and Darwinian perspectives, they ask: What constitutes happiness? How does that relate to success? And how does money fit in? Illuminating surprising similarities and important differences, they also address student questions: By what metric do you measure virtue? Why not focus on making big money? What’s the difference between happiness and joy? Each volume in the VeriTalks series is a transcription of a live Veritas Forum talk and audience Q&A interspersed with discussion questions to deepen your engagement with the material, ideally in the company of friends.
