Tenacre welcomes best-selling author Jennifer Wallace

On November 18, Tenacre’s Community Inclusiveness Committee (CIC) welcomed best-selling author Jennifer Wallace, who wrote Never Enough: When Achievement Culture Becomes Toxic-and What We Can Do About It. This event, held in partnership with The Chestnut Hill School, was a virtual event for parents. Tenacre parent and CIC Chair Megan Czerwinski moderated the event and engaged Wallace in a conversation to address the question, “How can we encourage our kids to strive for excellence in a way that does not induce unnecessary stress and cause unintentional harm?” Wallace is an award-winning journalist whose second book, Mattering in the Modern World: A Solution to the Crises of Our Time, is based on five years of research and an original global mattering survey. After graduating from Harvard College, Wallace worked as a producer at CBS “60 Minutes," where she was part of the team that won The Robert F. Kennedy Award for Excellence in Journalism. She is a contributor to The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post and frequently appears on national television programs to discuss her work.
