520    NEW YORK TIMES  BESTSELLER andbull; An urgently needed 
       guide to the alarming increase in anxiety and stress 
       experienced by girls from elementary school through 
       college, from the author of  Untangled    andldquo;An 
       invaluable read for anyone who has girls, works with girls,
       or cares about girls—for everyone!”&
       mdash;Claire Shipman, author of  The Confidence Code  and 
       The Confidence Code for Girls    Though anxiety has risen 
       among young people overall, studies confirm that it has 
       skyrocketed in girls. Research finds that the number of 
       girls who said that they often felt nervous, worried, or 
       fearful jumped 55 percent from 2009 to 2014, while the 
       comparable number for adolescent boys has remained 
       unchanged. As a clinical psychologist who specializes in 
       working with girls, Lisa Damour, Ph.D., has witnessed this
       rising tide of stress and anxiety in her own research, in 
       private practice, and in the all-girls’ school where
       she consults. She knew this had to be the topic of her new
       book.  In the engaging, anecdotal style and reassuring 
       tone that won over thousands of readers of her first book,
       Untangled , Damour starts by addressing the facts about 
       psychological pressure. She explains the surprising and 
       underappreciated  value  of stress and anxiety: that 
       stress can helpfully stretch us beyond our comfort zones, 
       and anxiety can play a key role in keeping girls safe. 
       When we emphasize the  benefits  of stress and anxiety, we
       can help our daughters take them in stride.  But no 
       parents want their daughter to suffer from emotional 
       overload, so Damour then turns to the many facets of girls
       ’ lives where tension takes hold: their interactions
       at home, pressures at school, social anxiety among other 
       girls and among boys, and their lives online. As readers 
       move through the layers of girls’ lives, they&
       rsquo;ll learn about the critical steps that adults can 
       take to shield their daughters from the toxic pressures to
       which our culture—including we, as parents&
       mdash;subjects girls.  Readers who know Damour from  
       Untangled  or the  New York Times,  or from her regular 
       appearances on  CBS News,  will be drawn to this important
       new contribution to understanding and supporting today&
       rsquo;s girls.  Praise for  Under Pressure    
       andldquo;Truly a must-read for parents, teachers, coaches,
       and mentors wanting to help girls along the path to 
       adulthood.” andmdash;Julie Lythcott-Haims,  New York
