The Happiness Crisis

Kids are chasing comfort and happiness.
Why do so many feel miserable?
It’s time to invite them into adversity, belonging, and curiosity - the ABCs that lead to 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.
Jonathan Eckert
Jonathan Eckert is a global educational leader and an accomplished speaker, author, and podcaster who speaks from decades of experience, explaining how he has seen parents, teachers, and coaches nurture transformation in kids ages 9 to 22.
His workshops specialize in improving teaching practices by building on existing strengths in schools and informs attendees how they can build policies from a pattern of feedback and engagement, and how to put those into practice to build a better future.
His latest book, The Happiness Crisis, touches on how avoiding discomfort or “hard” things may seem to beget happiness but in fact, does the opposite. He talks about how adversity and challenging oneself are some of the key principles in building long-term satisfaction and happiness.
