About this product
Product Information
"A beautiful tale of one family trying to figure things out--and, at the same time, a brilliant synthesis of a century of psychological science on how all of us can learn to dive headfirst into challenges, grow and adapt, and ultimately do well in life." --Angela Duckworth, New York Times bestselling author of Grit Raise kids to be strong, confident, and happy--by parenting the Australian way Damien Cave and his wife Diana thought they understood what it meant to take risks. As two journalists who traveled the world covering pressing international stories, they were convinced they had seen it all; that is, until they moved to Australia. Suddenly, their kids were being thrown into giant Pacific waves in intensive lifeguard bootcamps, and they were expected to be present and participating instead of obsessing about work or politics. They soon noticed what seemed to be a societal surrender of control to nature and community. In other words? Their American customs were completely disrupted. Living their new beachside life didn't end up being a relaxing retreat, but instead caused a complete reevaluation of the ways they acted as people and parents--and it all had to do with taking unexpected risks and learning how to manage them. New York Times Australia Bureau Chief Damien Cave delivers an impactful and informative account of how risk taking in parenting, and in all aspects of life, creates happier, healthier individuals and communities. Cave's exploration of Australian parenting culture, through gripping research and storytelling, will have you questioning everything you thought you knew about safety, risk, parenting, and, ultimately, being human. "An illuminating parenting guide, a takedown of America's self-esteem industrial complex, and a deep study of contrasts between the Australian and American minds." --Pamela Druckerman, New York Times bestselling author of Bringing Up Bébe

Reviews
"It often takes a stranger's eyes to see our own country clearly. By plunging into the Sydney surf, Damien Cave peered into the Australian soul. What he found there--courage, grit, community--is welcome news when our lives and our core values have never seemed so precarious." -- Geraldine Brooks, Australian American journalist and novelist of the Pulitzer Prize-winning March, "Parenting Like an Australian is a beautiful tale of one family trying to figure things out--and, at the same time, a brilliant synthesis of a century of psychological science on how all of us can learn to dive headfirst into challenges, grow and adapt, and ultimately do well in life." -- Angela Duckworth, New York Times bestselling author of Grit, "Damien Cave's Parenting Like an Australian is many books in one--a beautiful memoir of his family's years living in Australia, a deeply reported exploration of how we approach risk, pain and safety in the 21st century, and a sometimes painful examination of American life and American assumptions. Even if everyone doesn't end up surfing in the South Pacific after reading this book, they will be convinced of something much more important: that changing the way we live today is possible, necessary, exhilarating." -- Suzy Hansen, Pulitzer Prize finalist author of Notes on a Foreign Country, "A thrilling examination of self and family, risk and reward, failure and triumph, in ways both big and small. Cave's vivid exploration of risk-taking told through the ages mixed with his own experiences as a parent, partner, and perspicacious journalist will make you devour this book--and then slam it shut, look inside yourself, and want to be a better person." -- Dionne Searcey, author of In Pursuit of Difficult Women, "When American journalist Damien Cave lands in Sydney, as the New York Times bureau chief, he discovers a country where high-risk activities are normal--even for kids. Parenting Like an Australian is an illuminating parenting guide, a takedown of America's self-esteem industrial complex, and a deep study of contrasts between the Australian and American minds. It made even a wimp like me consider heading into the sea." -- Pamela Druckerman, New York Times bestselling author of Bringing Up Bébé, "Damien Cave does an excellent job of deconstructing the phenomenon of trauma and risk to understand why some people are more vulnerable than others. His experience in war zones must have given him crucial insights into the topic." -- Sebastian Junger, New York Times bestselling author of Tribe and Freedom, "Parenting Like an Australian is absolutely terrific. It's a gripping story that gets the science of risk right. I haven't seen any other writings about my work and the study of risk that are like this, integrated with a powerful story well told." -- Paul Slovic, author of Perception of Risk, founder and president of Decision Research, and professor of psychology at the University of Oregon, " Parenting Like an Australian is a beautiful tale of one family trying to figure things out--and, at the same time, a brilliant synthesis of a century of psychological science on how all of us can learn to dive headfirst into challenges, grow and adapt, and ultimately do well in life." -- Angela Duckworth, New York Times bestselling author of Grit, "Absolutely genuine. A lively mix of history, philosophy, science, reportage--and an honest, heartfelt memoir of the joys and miseries of parenting. I learned a lot from it." -- Dan Kois, author of How to Be a Family and host of the podcast Mom and Dad Are Fighting, " Parenting Like an Australian is absolutely terrific. It's a gripping story that gets the science of risk right. I haven't seen any other writings about my work and the study of risk that are like this, integrated with a powerful story well told." -- Paul Slovic, author of Perception of Risk, founder and president of Decision Research, and professor of psychology at the University of Oregon
