Chasing what feels easy is a human instinct—but it's only when young people embrace challenges that they become stronger versions of themselves and lead more joyful, meaningful lives.

In our happiness-obsessed society, we can become isolated in comfort zones and overly focused on temporary pleasures. Kids naturally do the same. In our effort to protect and help them, we often shield them from discomfort. But are we unwittingly denying them experiences that will form them into strong, capable adults? Could it be that we're training them to believe that challenges ought to be avoided, and that if they're struggling, they're not well?

In The Happiness Crisis, global educational leader Jon Eckert speaks from decades of experience, explaining how he has seen parents, teachers, and coaches nurture transformation in kids ages 9 to 22. With practical wisdom, humor, and real-world evidence, he'll show you how to

  • invite young people into challenges, risks, and adventures;
  • prioritize real-life connections that show others they matter;
  • resist living in echo chambers and chasing fleeting success; and
  • welcome kids into lives that move beyond circumstantial happiness to lasting joy.

Decades from now, the most resilient adults will be the most joyful. They'll know that joy isn't freedom from struggle; it's the fuel that allows them to struggle well.

Young people can begin living that way now—if we invite them to.
