All Joy and No Fun
Award-winning journalist Jennifer Senior tries to tackle the issue of the effects of children on their parents, isolating and analyzing the many ways in which children reshape their parents' lives, whether it's their marriages, their jobs, their habits, their hobbies, their friendships, or their internal senses of self. She argues that changes in the last half-century have radically altered the roles of today's mothers and fathers, making their mandates at once more complex and far less clear. Recruiting from a wide variety of sources - in history, sociology, economics, psychology, philosophy, and anthropology - she dissects both the timeless strains of parenting and the ones that are brand ...
Summary of Jennifer Senior's All Joy and No Fun
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Minnesota’s Early Childhood Family Education program is extremely popular and unique to the state. It allows parents to leave their kids with professionals for 60 blissful minutes, when they become grown-ups again. #2 Parenthood is the least happy period of adult life, according to studies. The autonomy that parents once took for granted has deserted them, and they are now burdened by children and a lack of freedom. #3 Having children enlarges your life in innumerable ways, but it also disrupts your autonomy in ways you never anticipated. That’s where this book begins: with a dissection of those reconfigured lives and an attempt to explain why they look and feel the way they do. #4 The most dreaded parental punishment is making parents sleep deprivation. But most parents have no idea which type they are until their kids come along: those who handle it fairly well, those who sort of fall apart, and those who respond catastrophically.

Twenty years later, Jennifer Senior, a family friend and award-winning reporter, revisits the McIlvaines, examines their present lives, and contemplates what grief really means, in all its jagged complexity.
The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2021
New York Times best-selling author and renowned science journalist Ed Yong compiles the best science and nature writing published in 2020.

"They are often full of tragedy, sometimes laced with wonder, but always deeply aware that science does not exist in a social vacuum. They are beautiful, whether in their clarity of ideas, the elegance of their prose, or often both." The essays in this year's Best American Science and Nature Writing brought clarity to the complexity and bewilderment of 2020 and delivered us necessary information du...
