And yet, in today's world, that fundamental need is going unmet, with perilous consequences. As mental and social health crises surge, we often blame social media, the pace of modern life, and polarizing politics. But beneath these issues lies a deeper crisis, what Wallace calls \"an erosion of mattering.\" \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith her signature warmth and insight, Wallace weaves together research and deeply moving stories of mattering lost and regained. From burned-out employees to overwhelmed caregivers to people grappling with grief or struggling through a destabilizing transition, \n\u003ci\u003eMattering\u003c\/i\u003e explores how our lives are transformed when we are reminded, in small and intentional ways, that we are valued and that we have value to offer. Wallace provides the essential elements to building what she calls our \"mattering core\" recognizing your impact, being relied on (but not too much), feeling prioritized, and being truly known and invested in. Strengthening this core helps us reconnect to our sense of purpose, deepen our relationships, and navigate life's uncertainties and challenges with greater resilience. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor readers of Brené Brown, David Brooks, and Adam Grant, \n\u003ci\u003eMattering\u003c\/i\u003e is a rare, culture-shifting book that offers both a diagnosis and a remedy.
