I'm the New York Times bestselling author of the anti-helicopter parenting manifesto, How to Raise an Adult (Holt, 2015). This fall I'm out with a new book, a memoir on race and racism called Real American (Holt, 2017). I gave a TED Talk on the harm of overparenting that was released in 2016 and has been viewed over 2.5 million times. I primarily write nonfiction and memoir, and I dabble in poetry on the side.
