BoyMom by Ruth Whippman

Quotes by Ruth Whippman  (?)
Quotes are added by the Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ community and are not verified by Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ.

“we have almost universally decreed social media to be a kind of personal PR agency, a forum for us to assemble a set of glittering promotional materials for our own lives, all with the aim of making ourselves appear as improbably blissfully happy as possible.”
Ruth Whippman, America the Anxious: Why Our Search for Happiness Is Driving Us Crazy and How to Find It for Real

“The more connected and loved boys feel, the more community they have in their own lives, and the more empathy they feel from their loved ones, the less need they have to search for belonging in these spaces.”
Ruth Whippman, BoyMom: Reimagining Boyhood in the Age of Impossible Masculinity

“Community may be the key to happiness, but a manufactured community with financial motives lurking behind every interaction is not the same as a real, organic community, nurtured from genuine human empathy.”
