Enlightenment!—You may spend your whole life seeking it, but never find it. You may never search for it or even know that it’s possible, but reach it by accident. And you may live out your life ignorant of its existence, and die having never discovered your highest potential for happiness, self-mastery, and creative brilliance. The enlightened psychologist Abraham Maslow was the first to scientifically describe the fully enlightened person—which he called the “self-actualizing person.” Building on Maslow’s work through careful biographical study of the lives of self-actualizing ...

Why does one kid shrug off a rainy afternoon in five minutes while the other is still carrying it at bedtime? Rhowela Friel came home from a pharmacy shift to find her six-year-old crying over paint and her husband out of ideas. Her four-year-old stood three feet away with her hands over her ears, mostly just annoyed it was loud. Same house, same night, same crying.

In 2022 the largest trial ever run on teaching mindfulness to young people reported its results. Eighty-five schools, 8,376 students, one year of follow-up. It found no benefit over ordinary school provision. This book was rewritten because of that result. It no longer promises you a calmer child, and it says so in chapter four rather than in an appendix. What it offers instead is smaller and deliverable: a short daily routine that gives your child words for what he is feeling, practice at noticing where his attention has gone, and ten minutes a day of your undivided company. Nothing in ...

Every family runs on lessons nobody wrote down. They arrive in a wince at the wrong moment, a phrase repeated at the dinner table, a casual comment about a neighborhood or a group of people, delivered so many times it starts to feel like fact rather than opinion. By the time a child is grown, she has absorbed a working theory of how feelings, money, failure, fairness, and belonging are supposed to work, built entirely from evidence she was never meant to notice she was collecting. The Dumb Things We Teach Our Children pulls nineteen of those unspoken lessons into the light. Each chapter ...

As Junior trains through mosquito-infested bayous, shaky trees, foul smells, and worse opponents, he learns that real strength isn’t loud, flashy, or cruel. It’s patient. It’s disciplined. And sometimes, it smells suspiciously like a skunk ape. Standing in his way is Colonel Supreme Master Beauregard ...
