"In Search Of A Course is a refreshingly ambitious and illuminating account of Cladis's impassioned confrontation with nothing less than the central questions of nature, religion, love, and education. This is a brave and important book." Ronald A. Sharp, Acting President emeritus, Kenyon College
"Cladis has written an honest and beautiful book about finding a course after losing one's way. 'There are seasons of change that we must accept, even embrace,' he writes. Yesthe challenge is doing so in horrible weather. Through fractured love, through divorce, through religious crisis, through professional and academic upheaval, through deep seated anxietyCladis charts his course so that we might weather life's seasons more gracefully." John Kaag, author of New York Times bestsellers American Philosophy: A Love Story
