Jennifer E. Lansford, PhD,

Furthermore, Kazanjian's inclusion of humanist philosophy highlights the value of relationships across the age spectrum. His multicultural humanistic approach enlightens the constant state 'becoming young adults' endure during the early 21st-century/COVID-19 era. This is a timely book that educators should engage with as they build relationships with young adults."
