Jessica Lahey is the author of the New York Times bestselling book, The Gift of Failure: How the Best Parents Learn to Let Go So Their Children Can Succeed and The Addiction Inoculation: Raising Healthy Kids in a Culture of Dependence, which won the Research Society on Alcohol’s Media Award for “outstanding journalistic efforts of writers who cover empirical research on alcohol.” She has written about education, parenting, and child welfare for The Washington Post and The Atlantic, and her biweekly column “The Parent Teacher Conference” ran for three years at the New York Times. Jess earned a J.D. from the University of North Carolina School of Law with a concentration in education and juvenile law and went on to teach for twenty years in every grade from sixth to twelfth in both public and private schools. She spent five years teaching in a drug and alcohol rehab for adolescents and three years as a prevention and recovery coach at Sana, an inpatient detox and recovery center in Stowe, Vermont. She designed and wrote the educational curriculum for Amazon Kids’ award-winning animated series The Stinky and Dirty Show, and holds the dubious honor of having written an article that was later adapted as a writing prompt for the SAT. She lives with her husband and a few too many dogs in the woods of Vermont.
