Jennifer Wallace is the New York Times bestselling author of Never Enough and Mattering, and a former producer at CBS's 60 Minutes. Her work began with a 2019 article covering two national policy reports that named students at high achieving schools as a group at serious risk, two to six times more likely to suffer from clinical anxiety and depression than the average American teenager. In this episode, Jenny explains why the pathway to high achievement is paved with mattering rather than pressure, why belonging on its own doesn't go far enough for young people, and the one thing about AI that keeps her up at night.
