  CAT Book Discussion: Never Enough
  Tuesday, February 3, 2PM–3PM
  ZSR Library, ZSR 665 (Faculty Commons Classroom)
  Thank you for your interest in this reading discussion. We have reached maximum registration. If you would like to buy your own book and participate, please email Kristi Verbeke at verbekkj@wfu.edu.

  Join your colleagues for a discussion of Jennifer Breheny Wallace’s Never Enough: When Achievement Culture Becomes Toxic—and What We Can Do About It (2023). We will explore how the relentless pressure to perform impacts our students’ mental health and sense of “mattering.” During these sessions, we’ll examine Wallace’s research on the “achievement trap” and discuss practical ways we might work to shift our campus culture from high-pressure competition to healthy excellence. We’ll talk about reframing our pedagogical approaches to prioritize resilience, belonging, and the intrinsic value of learning over a narrow focus on grades and credentials.

  Meets 3 times this semester (2/3, 2/17 & 3/3) on Tuesday from 2-3pm in ZSR 665 (Faculty Commons Classroom inside the Faculty Commons space in ZSR Wilson Wing). We will provide the book for the first 15 registrants. These discussions are very popular so we ask that you register only if you are available to attend all sessions.
