NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER *; An urgently needed guide to the alarming increase in anxiety and stress experienced by girls from elementary school through college, from the author of Untangled';An invaluable read for anyone who has girls, works with girls, or cares about girlsfor everyone!'Claire Shipman, author ofThe Confidence CodeandThe Confidence Code for Girls Though anxiety has risen among young people overall, studies confirm that it has skyrocketed in girls. Research finds that the number of girls who said that they often felt nervous, worried, or fearful jumped 55 percent from 2009 to 2014, while the comparable number for adolescent boys has remained unchanged. As a clinical psychologist who specializes in working with girls, Lisa Damour, Ph.D., has witnessed this rising tide of stress and anxiety in her own research, in private practice, and in the all-girls' school where she consults. She knew this had to be the topic of her new book. In the engaging, anecdotal style and reassuring tone that won over thousands of readers of her first book, Untangled, Damour starts by addressing the facts about psychological pressure. She explains the surprising and underappreciated value of stress and anxiety: that stress can helpfully stretch us beyond our comfort zones, and anxiety can play a key role in keeping girls safe. When we emphasize the benefits of stress and anxiety, we can help our daughters take them in stride. But no parents want their daughter to suffer from emotional overload, so Damour then turns to the many facets of girls' lives where tension takes hold: their interactions at home, pressures at school, social anxiety among other girls and among boys, and their lives online. As readers move through the layers of girls' lives, they'll learn about the critical steps that adults can take to shield their daughters from the toxic pressures to which our cultureincluding we, as parentssubjects girls. Readers who know Damour from Untangled or the New York Times, or from her regular appearances on CBS News, will be drawn to this important new contribution to understanding and supporting today's girls.Praise for Under Pressure ';Truly a must-read for parents, teachers, coaches, and mentors wanting to help girls along the path to adulthood.'Julie Lythcott-Haims, New York Times bestselling author of How to Raise an Adult

The book illustrates not only Philippa Campbell''s stylistic development but the main themes which preoccupied her throughout her life. These are gathered in four main sections: Existential Angst (mostly about the agonies of teenage crushes and soul-searching, treated with touching immediacy and candour), Magically Compatible (the wonderful freedom of loving and being loved), In Harness (marriage and disillusion) and The Senior Citizen (insights into the way the world narrows with age and, in some none-too-comforting ways, broadens).There are three short subsidiary sections and a postscript by her husband.
