Story
America is in crisis. Happiness is falling, loneliness and despair are rising, too many schools are riddled by fights and failure, crime is unacceptably high, and the American Dream is out of reach for millions. The problems are visible to us all, but virtually no one is talking about the solution that matters most: Marriage. New research by University of Virginia sociologist Brad Wilcox shows that Americans who get married and have children today are leading happier and more prosperous lives, on average, than men and women who are single and childless.

How did the idea arise that masculinity is dangerous and destructive? Bestselling author Nancy Pearcey leads you on a fascinating excursion through American history to discover why the script for masculinity turned toxic—and how to fix it. Pearcey then turns to surprising findings from sociology. Religion is often cast as a cause of domestic abuse. But research shows that authentically committed Christian men test out as the most loving and engaged husbands and fathers. They have the lowest rates of divorce and domestic violence of any group in America.

Sixty years later, the need of the hour remains: men that take responsibility for themselves, men that raise their own children, and men with insatiable economic libido. A nation of faithful men can never be moved.

Publisher's Summary
How to Build a Better Life implodes the decades-long narrative that women should prioritize career above all else and provides a new path forward for women who would rather focus on family and build the balanced lives they crave.
So you’re tired of being single and would rather be married with children. Or perhaps you’re already a wife and mother, but you want to stop working and stay home with your kids—if only for a season.
Either way, you have no support for your desire to do so.
If you’re single, you’ve been told to put career front and center and that marriage and motherhood can wait. If you’re married, your family and friends—even your own husband!—want you to work full-time, despite the fact that you have young children at home.
It feels like everyone wants you to be a workhorse, but you just want to slow down. You want to live a simpler life that’s centered on family, not career. You want to raise your own babies, not put them in daycare. You want to live in your home, not use it as a place to just sleep and shower.
In How to Build a Better Life, relationship and life coach Suzanne Venker charts a new course for women who want to prioritize love and family and to build strong relationships at home.
In this book, you will learn:
- Why your femininity is a superpower
- How to date for marriage
- That you don’t need to be rich to have a baby
- How to live on one income
- Why “lazy girl jobs” can be a great choice for moms
- What no one told you about daycare
A call to arms, How to Build a Better Life will ignite a much-needed debate about the misplaced priorities of the modern generation. This guide is the antidote women need to reject the lies they've been fed by our culture so they can build the happier and slower-paced lives they crave.
