Why read it?
1 author picked Never Enough as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book broke my heart. It forced me to really interrogate why we push kids to be smart in a particular way to the detriment of their mental health. By the time I was done, I was angry with all the ways that our culture of parenting and childhood pulled us away from finding true happiness and mattering to each other.
It drove me to see how the most widespread habits of our achievement culture are alarmingly exclusionary and ableist, making those who can’t live up to narrow standards of achievement feel lost and without purpose.
From Pepper's list on exploring what it means to be smart.
