  • Summary

  • Why is everyone so burnout? Modern parenting has shifted towards a focus on status and achievement, often at the expense of genuine happiness and well-being. How did we get here? How did our kids' childhoods end up so different from our own? Can we find some kind of middle ground between overstressed parents killing themselves to help their kids achieve and our own parents who drove us around in a station wagon with no seatbelts. Journalist and author Jennifer Wallace joins us to talk about her brilliant book Never Enough where she dissects toxic achievement culture and gives parents a framework for something different. Social media makes it all so much worse, but there is hope! We CAN do better. Order NEVER ENOUGH here. Join our newsletter community here. Pre-order EVERYONE IS LYING TO YOU here.
