It's been a good year for @socannex. Today's episode features @annamueller and @sethabrutyn discussing their new book Life Under Pressure (2024, Oxford University Press) with me.
We talk about their field site, Oak Grove, its high status, and high earning adult community, and the psychic pain that many young people experience.
Malcolm Gladwell loved our book so much he blurbed it!!!: "Life under Pressure told me more about what has gone wrong with the upper-income corners of American society than any book I’ve read in years. It is a devastating work of scholarship."
