Overwhelmed and overworked—and caring for kids who feel the same?

We weren't made to live like this: It's time to start "rehumaning" childhood and our lives.

Right now, kids and adults are trying to thrive amid the daily grind, addictive technology, crowded calendars, and rising uncertainty. It's an impossible task—and it's taking a toll.

Bestselling author Stephanie Malia Krauss offers a lifeline. With her signature blend of relatable storytelling and deeply researched insights, How We Thrive explores 14 timeless human essentials of body, mind, heart, and spirit that safeguard health and humanity—things like play, wonder, belonging, and creativity that have sustained humans for millennia. Inside, you'll find

Wisdom from 100+ leading experts in health, neuroscience, psychology, and human development
Inspiring success stories from schools, summer camps, and community programs
Science-backed strategies to counter overwhelm and support well-being at every stage of life
Rehumaning practices that work wherever you are, in as little as one minute
Beautiful illustrations and sketchnotes that make complex ideas memorable and meaningful
Reflection prompts and real-life examples that inspire and motivate change

How We Thrive reveals time-honored truths about what matters most—and shows how reclaiming the innate essentials changes everything. When the frenzied pace of modern life threatens to deplete you and the kids in your life, this book equips you to fight back and reclaim who you were born to be.
