Simmons brilliantly crystallizes contemporary girls' dilemma: the way old expectations and new imperatives collide; how a narrow, virtually unattainable vision of 'success' comes at the expense of self-worth and well-being. \u003cem\u003eEnough As She\u003c\/em\u003e is a must-read.\" --Peggy Orenstein, author of \u003cem\u003eGirls \u0026amp; Sex\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom the \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e bestselling author of \u003cem\u003eOdd Girl Out, \u003c\/em\u003e a deeply urgent book that gives adults the tools to help girls in high school and college reject \"supergirl\" pressure, overcome a toxic stress culture, and become resilient adults with healthy, happy, and fulfilling lives.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor many girls today, the drive to achieve is fueled by brutal self-criticism and an acute fear of failure. Though young women have never been more \"successful\"-outpacing boys in GPAs and college enrollment-they have also never struggled more. On the surface, girls may seem exceptional, but in reality, they are anxious and overwhelmed, feeling that, no matter how hard they try, they will never be smart enough, successful enough, pretty enough, thin enough, popular enough, or sexy enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRachel Simmons has been researching young women for two decades, and her research plainly shows that girl competence does not equal girl confidence--nor does it equal happiness, resilience, or self-worth. Backed by vivid case studies, Simmons warns that we have raised a generation of young women so focused on achieving that they avoid healthy risks, overthink setbacks, and suffer from imposter syndrome, believing they are frauds. As they spend more time projecting an image of effortless perfection on social media, these girls are prone to withdraw from the essential relationships that offer solace and support and bolster self-esteem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeeply empathetic and meticulously researched, \u003cem\u003eEnough As She Is\u003c\/em\u003e offers a clear understanding of this devastating problem and provides practical parenting advice--including teaching girls self-compassion as an alternative to self-criticism, how to manage overthinking, resist the constant urge to compare themselves to peers, take healthy risks, navigate toxic elements of social media, prioritize self-care, and seek support when they need it. \u003cem\u003eEnough As She Is\u003c\/em\u003e sounds an alarm to parents and educators, arguing that young women can do more than survive adolescence.
