You Want to Be Taken Seriously? Then Take Things Seriously “[Toby Orenstein] was a great director. . . . If you’re lucky, you have someone when you’re young who doesn’t talk down to you, who speaks to you as a serious person and exhorts you to take something seriously, to take work seriously. If a person does that in the right way, you feel elevated. As a young person, you feel like someone is saying to you, ‘Hey! You want to be taken seriously? Then take things seriously. Do the work, you know? Don’t coast, you know?’ I’d say that’s what she gave.”

This brings us back to the Harvard Study, and an important question about its ethnic makeup: How could the lives of White men like John, Leo, and Henry, men who grew up in America in the middle of the twentieth century, have anything to say about modern women or people of color, about people from entirely different countries, cultures, and backgrounds? Aren’t the findings of the Harvard Study only relevant to the demographics of its participants?
