At the Archbridge Institute, we define the culture of flourishing as the study of how shared values, practices, norms, and narratives support the social foundations of human flourishing.
...In the United States, the American Dream serves as the nation’s vision statement. At its best, the American Dream is the national ethos that unites us in our diversity and celebrates achievement, opportunity, and aspiration.
“A patriotic attitude that unites Americans plays a vital role in advancing our society and human progress.”
– Clay Routledge, Patriotism is a Crucial Ingredient for Progress, Fortune
“A culture that values human agency and overcoming obstacles, regardless of where one starts, is at the center of the American Dream and at the center of entrepreneurial pursuits.”
– Gonzalo Schwarz, Calling All Entrepreneurs to Rekindle the American Dream, Living the Dream
“Therefore, tackling our demographic challenges requires a cultural transformation. We must cultivate a society that champions family formation by educating young Americans about its pivotal role in creating a meaningful and fulfilling life.”
– Clay Routledge, Beyond Policy: Reimaging Family in the American Psyche, Seeking the Good
