"She used to love sports, but now she just mopes around." "My kid has turned into such a slacker!" Over the course of her 25-year career, psychologist and learning expert Ellen Braaten has begun to notice a trend. More and more parents are coming to her because their kids couldn't care less about anything. How do bright, motivated young children become such unmotivated older kids and teens--and what can parents do about it? In this warm and encouraging guide, Dr. Braaten explains that kids who have lost the will to do anything (other than play video games) need more than simple encouragement or the "right" school, teacher, or coach to get back on track. Instead, Dr. Braaten helps parents understand the myriad biological, emotional, cognitive, and social factors that affect motivation--and build a plan to boost their child's confidence, incentive to learn, and engagement in life"--

It's one thing to have new ideas, but another to stand up for them. Adam Grant, one of his generation's most provocative thought leaders, explores how individuals can recognize good ideas and speak up without getting silenced, parents can raise creative children, and leaders can build cultures that fight group-think and promote innovation. Using remarkable studies and stories spanning business, politics, sports, and entertainment, Grant shows that original thinkers are surprisingly similar to the rest of us. They procrastinate. They grapple with doubt and fear. They have bad ideas. What sets them apart is that they choose to act anyway. This book offers groundbreaking insights about how we can all become more successful in championing our best ideas.
In 2015, Sheryl Sandberg faced the sudden loss of her husband, Dave Goldberg, leaving her and their two young children devastated. Convinced that joy and meaning were forever lost, she struggled with the reality of their first father-child activity without him. A friend encouraged her to embrace a new path, stating, "Option A is not available. So let's just kick the shit out of Option B." This sentiment reflects a universal truth: everyone encounters some form of loss, whether it be jobs, relationships, or loved ones. The critical question is how we confront these challenges. Thoughtful and revealing, the narrative intertwines Sandberg's personal journey with insights from social scientists like Adam Grant. It shares stories of individuals who have faced significant hardships—such as illness, divorce, and job loss—and emerged stronger. The book highlights the concept of post-traumatic growth, showing that many not only recover but thrive after adversity. It also discusses pre-traumatic growth, emphasizing that resilience can be cultivated even before tragedy strikes. Sandberg and Grant offer strategies for raising resilient children, fostering strong communities, and finding meaning and joy in life. Reflecting on her experience, Sandberg notes the profound changes brought by her loss, illustrating that even in the depths of sadness, it is possible to rise, breathe, and find hope again.
