From award-winning journalist and bestselling author Jennifer Wallace, Mattering introduces a framework for understanding one of the most overlooked drivers of human wellbeing: the need to feel valued and to add value.
Wallace argues that mattering, the sense that we are seen, relied upon and able to contribute meaningfully, is a core human need. As loneliness, burnout and social fragmentation increase, she suggests that beneath many modern pressures lies a deeper issue: an erosion of mattering.
Drawing on research and personal stories, the book examines how mattering is lost and how it can be restored. From overwhelmed caregivers and burnt-out employees to individuals navigating grief or major life transitions, Wallace explores how small, intentional signals of value and recognition can reshape our sense of purpose and resilience.
She outlines what she calls the “mattering core”, including recognising your impact, being relied on without being overburdened, feeling prioritised, and being genuinely known. Strengthening this foundation, she argues, can deepen relationships, restore meaning and help individuals and communities navigate uncertainty with greater stability.
Mattering offers both diagnosis and practical direction, presenting a clear framework for rebuilding connection in homes, workplaces and wider society.
