AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The definitive book on the
rise of ",toxic achievement culture", overtaking our kids' and
parents' lives, and a new framework for fighting back In the ever
more competitive race to secure the best possible future, today's
students face unprecedented pressure to succeed. They jam-pack
their schedules with AP classes, fill every waking hour with
resume-padding activities, and even sabotage relationships with
friends to ",get ahead.", Family incomes and schedules are
stretched to the breaking point by tutoring fees and athletic
schedules. Yet this drive to optimize performance has only resulted
in skyrocketing rates of anxiety, depression, and even self-harm in
America's highest achieving schools. Parents, educators, and
community leaders are facing the same quandary: how can we teach
our kids to strive towards excellence without crushing them? In
Never Enough, award-winning reporter Jennifer Breheny Wallace
investigates the deep roots of toxic achievement culture, and finds
out what we must do to fight back. Drawing on interviews with
families, educators, and an original survey of nearly 6,000
parents, she exposes how the pressure to perform is not a matter of
parental choice but baked in to our larger society and spurred by
increasing income inequality and dwindling opportunities. As a
result, children are increasingly absorbing the message that they
have no value outside of their accomplishments, a message that is
reinforced by the media and greater culture at large. Through deep
research and interviews with today's leading child psychologists,
Wallace shows what kids need from the adults in the room is not
more pressure, but to feel like they matter, and have intrinsic
self-worth not contingent upon external achievements. Parents and
educators who adopt the language and values of mattering help
children see themselves as a valuable contributor to a larger
community. And in an ironic twist, kids who receive consistent
feedback that they matter no matter what are more likely to have
the resilience, self-confidence, and psychological security to
thrive. Packed with memorable stories and offering a powerful
toolkit for positive change, Never Enough offers an urgent, humane
view of the crisis plaguing today's teens and a practical framework
for how to help.
