In today’s race to secure the best possible future, today’s students face unprecedented pressure to succeed which has become more competitive than ever.
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? Can anything be done about the rise of this “toxic achievement culture” that is overtaking our kids’ and parents’ lives? Schedules are jam-pack with AP classes, every waking hour is filled with resume-padding activities, family incomes and schedules are stretched to the breaking point by tutoring fees and athletic schedules and it even sabotages relationships with friends to “get ahead.” Award-winning reporter Jennifer Wallace investigates the deep roots of toxic achievement culture in her new book Never Enough - amzn.to/3ZnSySz - and offers a powerful toolkit for positive change to fight back and give kids self-confidence, and psychological security to thrive. Join us and find out what those tools are.
Recorded September 14, 2023 at The 92nd Street Y, New York.

Make community colleges free if we want more college educated youth!
I have a gifted grandson who will be going to college next year when Harvard and Yale are mentioned, I say just look at some of our congressmen who went there😢😢😢😢😢😢
There is no middle class any more - that's part of what's wrong.
I'm curious why Katie doesn't ask Jennie why she didn't/doesn't send her kids to public schools?
public schools have these same problems, this stuff is happening throughout the education system
They invited me to be interviewed, I declined, nobody would come, watch, they'd say, who
Is this satire?
