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. She demonstrates that when people feel they truly
matter―that their presence and contributions are noticed, needed, and
missed when they aren’t there―everything changes. Productivity soars,
relationships deepen, and communities strengthen.
Drawing on compelling research and intimate portraits of people who've
discovered the power of mattering, Wallace provides a practical
blueprint for creating lives of deeper meaning and connection. She
reveals:
- How small acts of recognition can transform workplace culture and
prevent burnout
- Why helping others often energizes us rather than depletes us
- How to build "mattering spaces" that foster genuine connection in
our communities
- Practical strategies for navigating life transitions while
maintaining our sense of purpose
Perfect for readers of Brené Brown and Adam Grant, this timely book
offers both hope and concrete solutions for our modern crisis of
disconnection. Mattering isn't just another self-help guide―it's a
revolutionary framework for rebuilding the connections that make life
meaningful and creating positive change that ripples outward from
ourselves to our relationships, workplaces, and communities. With
clarity and compassion, Wallace shows us that the antidote to our
cultural crisis of isolation isn't to turn inward, but to recognize how
much we matter to each other. This book will forever change how you
think about your role in the lives of others and offer a path to a more
connected, purposeful life.
