Jennifer Wallace has a deep understanding of what matters most to us – and her book shows us how to find it' ADAM GRANT, internationally bestselling author of Think Again ‘Beautifully written and deeply felt … explores one of the most fundamental human needs – to be valued for who we actually are’ SUSAN CAIN, internationally bestselling author of Quiet –––––––––––––––––– From award-winning writer Jennifer Breheny Wallace, a deeply consequential look at restoring closeness in our relationships and how feeling connected – mattering – can bring purpose and happiness to our lives. In a world where loneliness, burnout, and disconnection have reached crisis levels, Jennifer Breheny Wallace offers a transformative solution: mattering. Through vivid storytelling and groundbreaking research, Mattering: The Secret to Building a Life of Deep Purpose and Connection reveals how feeling seen, needed, and valued isn't just a nice-to-have—it's essential for our wellbeing and society's future. Filled with stories of individuals who have discovered the power of mattering, from the story of a fire chief who re-energized his emotionally exhausted team by helping them see their long-term impact, to a woman who transformed her grief into a movement helping thousands rebuild their lives, Wallace shows how mattering can be cultivated in every sphere of life.
