The world where everyone wants to be Peter Pan

From Afternoons, 3:10 pm today

Adulting is hard. Over the years, Professor Keith Hayward has seen his students at the University of Copenhagen reject the world of adult autonomy to act like schoolchildren in need of constant help and protection.  He looks at contemporary culture that patronizes and talks down to people and what it means for the world if everyone wants to be Peter Pan in his new book, Infantilised: How Our Culture Killed Adulthood.
