"A-muse" = Anti-think: Jake Baskin

In this episode of JOY over Happiness, Dr. Jon Eckert talks with Jake Baskin, Senior Philanthropic Advisor at Baylor University, about raising curious, resilient children in a culture competing for their attention. Jake and his wife, Meredith, share their intentional approach to parenting in The Happiness Crisis, and this conversation takes a deeper look at what that looks like in everyday family life.

From limiting passive screen time to making room for reading, nature, sports, creativity, and even boredom, Jake explores how parents can help children slow down, pay attention, and become captivated by what is true.
