Never Enough: When Achievement Culture Becomes Toxic —and What We Can Do About It By Jennifer Breheny Wallace. New York, NY: Portfolio/Penguin; 2023

Never Enough, written by journalist Jennifer Breheny Wallace, explores the powerful themes of adolescence, ambition, and mental health. The book is a synthesis of more than 6,000 surveys and interviews over the course of multiple years, performed across the country with adolescents, parents, and educators. The author, concerned about worsening mental health among young people in the United States, began her investigation not only to understand why mental illness is on the rise, but also to create a framework that parents can use to address it.
