Dost dobr dti – Jak elit toxickmu tlaku na vkon Wallace Jennifer Breheny (2025)

This book examines the rise of a toxic success culture that negatively affects the lives of children, teenagers and their parents. It offers an urgent, humane look at the mental-health crisis among young people and ways to address it effectively, drawing on personal stories, interviews with parents, educators and experts, and an extensive survey of 6,000 parents. Its key concept is mattering: what truly matters, including health, well-being and an inner sense of worth that does not depend on achievements. Wallace shows that pressure to succeed is rooted in society and reinforced by inequality. The book explains why children need to feel that their value is independent of performance, helping them face anxiety and develop resilience and healthy self-confidence. It offers effective tools for raising children with an emphasis on health and genuine values, as well as tools for change and maintaining mental balance. The contents are in Czech.
