Jenny Anderson is an award-winning journalist, author, and speaker with more than 25 years of experience. Her work has appeared in some of the world’s leading publications, including The New York Times, where she was on staff for 10 years, TIME, The Atlantic and Quartz. She’s hosted a podcast, launched a newsletter and is a frequent speaker and moderator at events around the world including the World Economic Forum in Davos, SxSWEdu, ASU/GSV, The Brookings Institution, Teach for All and ONE, among others. Her work examines what it means to be human: how kids learn and evidence-backed ways adults can support them; managing technology for benefit and not harm, and ways to build and sustain important relationships, from being a parent or partner, teacher or boss. She is driven to find ways to thrive in a noisy, unpredictable and complicated world. Her latest book, The Disengaged Teen: Helping Kids to Learn Better, Feel Better and Live Better (Crown) will be published January 7, 2025, co-authored with Rebecca Winthrop, Director of the Center for Universal Education at the Brookings Institute. Her first book, It's Not You, It's the Dishes applies behavioral economics to conflict in marriage and won a Books for a Better Life award in 2011. Before getting obsessed with the art and science of learning, Jenny covered finance and markets for The New York Times, winning a Gerald Loeb award in 2008 for her coverage of the financial crash. She lives in London with her husband and two daughters.
