My book, "The Family Dynamic" is out tomorrow! It explores families with exceptionally high-achieving siblings. I was interested in learning how parents inspire kids to dream big.

As I reported, I realized I'd also have to explore the costs of ambition, success and competition. It's not a how-to guide, but this book holds takeaways that I think will help parents reflect thoughtfully about what they want for their children, and why.

Perhaps with age comes not just wisdom, but honesty, humor and generosity? I'm so grateful to these couples for sharing with me the psychologically tough parts of retirement that don't get talked about enough: nytimes.com/2024/05/05/magaz…

It's their job to clear a path for reconciliation among Palestinians and Israelis. Hearing the challenges of how they manage to work together was edifying, at times dispiriting, and ultimately, inspiring.

What will @cocogauff do with this fame? Anyone who's spent even a little time with her and her family knows that she wanted the win for personal satisfaction, but also because it takes a big win to launch a serious platform for good. Can't wait to see that unfold.
