Kathryn interviews Editor NY Times Book Review Pamela Paul, author of "How to Raise a Reader." Reading can be a source of stress for parents: "Which books should I read to my baby? Is my child reading soon enough, fast enough?" Paul answers these questions with practical tips, been-there wisdom and inspirational advice. Her work has appeared in the Atlantic, Washington Post, NY Times Magazine, Time, NY Times EducationLife, Economist, Vogue and Psychology Today. Kathryn also interviews Cognitive-Behavioral Therapist Anthony Rao PhD, author of "The Power of Agency: The 7 Principles to Conquer Obstacles, Make Effective Decisions, and Create a Life on Your Own Terms." As individuals, we've lost our agency: the ability to deal with stress and act as an agent for ourselves. Rao was a pediatric psychologist at Boston Children's Hospital and an instructor at Harvard Medical School. He's been featured in the Chicago Tribune, Boston Globe, Washington Times, New Yorker Magazine and the NY Times.
