The Disengaged Teen

This audiobook presents a research-backed approach to helping teenagers reconnect with learning by understanding four distinct modes of learning—resister, passenger, achiever, and explorer—and how to support their development. Crafted by journalist Jenny Anderson and education expert Rebecca Winthrop, it offers practical strategies, inspiring stories, and insights for parents, caregivers, and educators to foster curiosity, resilience, and motivation in young people. With a focus on transforming disengagement into drive, the book aims to equip adults with the tools to nurture lifelong learners.
