A propos de cet article

Paperback. Common sense called. It wants its world back.We are drowning in information and starving for wisdom. We are raising children who cannot make change, read a map, or sit through a conversation without checking their phones. We are performing our lives for strangers online while the people who actually love us wait for us to look up.SuzAnne Driscoll is looking up. And she has some things to say.Some Things are Just True is a sharp, funny, and bracingly honest collection of essays written from the front lines of modern life. Drawing on a Gen X perspective sharpened by decades of parenting, observing, and paying close attention, each piece takes on one of the most stubborn myths of our connected age: that more information, more options, and more screen time are making us better. You can draw your own conclusions.This book is for you if you have ever: Watched a college student fail to calculate a 20 percent tip and felt a quiet panic about the futureWondered why kids who have been given everything seem prepared for nothingTaken a break from social media and felt genuinely lighter within 48 hoursSuspected that helicopter parenting, student loan forgiveness, and the death of the handwritten thank-you note are all connectedSaid out loud, to no one in particular, "What is happening to people?"Ms. Driscoll covers the topics that everyone is thinking about but not always addressing head-on. She tackles parenting without a spine, the social media performance trap, the college debt crisis, the slow erosion of basic civic knowledge, the quiet conflict between men and women, and why the best years of your life may actually be just around the corner and not in the rear-view mirror.She is not nostalgic for a perfect past. She is paying attention to a very imperfect present.Each essay is short, readable, and built around a simple premise: that the most important truths about being human are not complicated, not partisan, and not new. We knew them once. We can find our way back.Ideal for readers of cultural commentary, parenting essays, social criticism, and lifestyle nonfiction. A perfect read for anyone who grew up before the internet and occasionally misses it.If you have ever felt like the only adult left in the room, this book belongs on your shelf. With the candor of a brutally honest Gen X friend, these essays remind us that everything important about being human never needed Wi-Fi. This item is printed on demand.
